August came with the heat and sometimes record temperatures. And now it is drawing to a close. But we enjoyed every minute of it. Can you imagine that this is the last show in August? Well, we will celebrate it to the very end. And we are bound to have an important conversation. So Let's talk.

Monday August 28 will mark the 60th anniversary of the historic March on Washington that took place in 1963. This gathering of Black people in Washington is celebrated by many as the crowning moment of the Civil Rights Movement. A few years later legislation, best known as the Civil Rights Act was implemented to grant and protect the civil rights of Black people. Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream"speech" resonated with many and commanded an unrivaled popularity. But for all that, Can we say we undersand the objectives of civil rights? What are those objectives?  Have civil rights substantially changed the circumstances of Black people in America? Have Black people adequately experienced the grant and protection that civil rights is claimed to have offered them. Sixty years later, why is there still the need for protest marches? Come on in, join the conversation or tell us what you want to talk about. We will be happy to hear from you.
