of inheritance i've had, it was necessary for may to be this. >> and we are very happy to have harry belafonte joining us now on the program today from new york. mr. belafonte, looking back, what do you think about the promise of dr. king's dream, of everything you worked for? what has been achieved? what still need to bes to be ac? >> i do believe that that moment was filled with dreams of over two centuries of expectation that came from the african-american community. and a big part of the american community. we have enjoyed a great journey in achieving the victories that we did. now today i think that we are under a great threat of having those victories reversed. i think there's a new consciousness that's emerging within america, not just black america, the very -- all the movements that are begin to evidence themselves that we got to be mindful of the fact that many things in the power of our government has turned against the best interests of the victories that we achieved in civil rights. >> think back when we look at the images back on 1963, what is the emotion that comes to mind? >> w

one of those on hand is actor harry belafonte. who shortly after the march on washington had this to say what it meant for him and others in that demonstration. >> to be in washington today was an accumulation of a number of generations of black americans who have been trying to appeal to the conscious of white supremacy. and force that has denied and disenfranchise the negro for so long. to be in washington was for me today a beginning really. a kind of climax to generations of hope. having been at the beginning of so many important civil rights issues in this country and demonstration. it was a powerful moment to see 200,000 people, mostly black people but also white people. to know that a nation, such as america and the reason i struggle with it so hard because i really believe in the potential of this country. >> actor and civil rights activist harry boll phone -- belafonte. headline this morning the tallahassee democrat, a turning point and a quote from the mlk speech, i have a dream that this country will live out the true m
