BBC2 is airing a documentary next Wednesday, narrated by Denzel Washington, entitled Martin Luther King and the March on Washington (http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b039dyn8). It should be good - most BBC documentaries are. I'm taping it on my Sky+ box to make sure I don't miss it. :)

Some of you outside the UK may be able to watch it on the BBC iPlayer after it airs.
