Almost six decades after Dr Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' speech, the US is seeing a 'nightmare of racist violence'.

The bereaved relatives brought a raw and unvarnished sense of loss and injustice to this march, entitled:"Get your knee off our necks", after the method by which George Floyd was killed during arrest.Reverend Al Sharpton, Bridgett Floyd and Philonise Floyd, siblings of George Floyd, and Sheila Jackson Lee spoke at the rally

Mr Floyd's sister, Bridgett Floyd, told the crowd:"My brother cannot be a voice today. We have to be that voice, we have to be the change and we have to be his legacy. "What will be your legacy? Will your future generations remember you for your complacency, your inaction, or will they remember your leadership, empathy, your passion."

This peaceful gathering gave a strong echo of events 57 years ago. The modern-day movement is propelled by recent events in its determination to re-calibrate race relations in America. The issue is central to the corrosive election debate, so too civil rights, racial injustice and economic opportunity.
