Bakersfield's Black leaders continue to walk in MLK's message
Many things have changed across 6 decades, and today we remember the day 60 years ago when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. stood at the base of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. and delivered what's widely known as the "I Have A Dream" speech.

Though the history of that day may be fading, King's message has not. 23ABC's Sam Hoyle spoke with Black leaders and educators in Bakersfield to gain their perspective on the progress won and the progress to come.
