Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC News Channel HDLatest broadcast: on BBC News Channel HD

Zeinab Badawi speaks to Bernice King, CEO of The King Center. They are in Charleston, South Carolina, one of the most picturesque cities in the American South - yet one that holds an ugly truth. It was the main port for the slave trade and around half of the Africans brought to the United States passed though there.

The fight for freedom and justice has been long and bloody. One of the most iconic figures of that struggle was the black civil rights leader Martin Luther King and it has been nearly fifty years since he was assassinated in April 1968. As the youngest of his four children, they discuss if she believes racism is on the rise again in the US. Show less
