Are we truly committed to the struggle for equality in America?
On June 12, 1963, four prominent activists – Alan Morrison, New York editor of Ebony magazine; Wyatt T. Walker, chief of staff of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and executive assistant to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; James Farmer, national director of the Congress of Racial Equality; and Malcolm X, minister of the Nation of Islam’s Mosque No.7 in Harlem – met in New York for a frank discussion about the civil-rights movement with Richard Heffner, host of “The Open Mind” (PBS). That very day, Medgar Evers, leader of a movement to desegregate Mississippi, was assassinated in Jackson.
Fifty years later, Leid Stories asks: Are we truly committed to the struggle for equality in America? Are we taking care of unfinished business?

I believe the majority of the citizens of the USA are committed to equality for all individuals in terms of gender, race, religion, etc. I beleive that this effort has the appearance of being undermined by the few that have opposite beliefs or extremist attitudes. So, I agree that we are committed to equality. Side: We are committed to equality

Equality, in what sense? Equality does not exist, my dear folk. No matter how much the government may show that all citizens are equal before it, there is always a little corner in the heart of the one in power that his people are the priority. Anyway, everybody is committed to equality everywhere. Side: We are committed to equality
