It was August the 28th, 1963, that United States civil-rights leader Dr Martin Luther King delivered one of the most famous speeches of our time.
Delivered in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, it would become known across the world as the I Have a Dream speech.
US President Barack Obama will help commemorate the moment with a speech at the same spot.
What would Dr King think of race relations in America this half a century later?
African-American politics specialist Dr Michael Ondaatje, from the University of Newcastle and the US Studies Centre in Sydney, talked about that with Ron Sutton.
