Today we hear how a close associate of Martin Luther King, together with a pioneering generation of activists, led the desegregation of lunch counters and intercity buses, voter registration movements and Poor People's Campaigns. And we'll hear why, despite the many unfulfilled promises of that era, Bernard Lafayette remains as active and optimistic as ever about human possibilities.
