I Have a Dream: from the man who led Bristol Bus Boycott

It was on the 28th August 1963 that Martin Luther King organised a huge demonstration March on Washington DC, the US capital, where he spoke to a crowd of a quarter of a million who were assembled on the mall - to hear him deliver perhaps the most powerful speech of all time - I Have a Dream.
The speech itself was more than 2,000 words long.
In this extract, Dotun speaks to Paul Stephenson, the man who triggered off the Bristol bus boycott 50 years ago. Two civil rights campaigns on opposite sides of the Atlantic, and a speech that resonated with Stephenson in the UK.
