France mocked for Martin Luther King tribute featuring all white cast

France’s education ministry has withdrawn a video intended to pay tribute to Martin Luther King Junior’s “I have a dream” speech that featured only white children after receiving a deluge of criticism over the clip.

Published to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the civil rights leader’s famous address calling for an end to racism, the one-minute clip features five children speaking in English about their dreams for a greener planet and equal rights.
