Does the daughter of Martin Luther King believe racism is on the
rise again in the US? Hardtalk’s Zeinab Badawi speaks to Bernice
King, CEO of The King Center and the youngest of Martin Luther
King's four children. 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; 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. It is
nearly 50 years since he was assassinated in April 1968.
