I can't figure how to put the video itself here. But go watch it, it's short and it's powerful.
The Guardian says: "At the start of Black History Month, we take a look at a seminal speech by writer, essayist, poet and civil rights activist, James Baldwin. Attending Cambridge University Union in 1965, Baldwin debates whether the ‘American dream’ has been achieved at the expense of African-Americans."
I add, take a look at 1:20 - William F Buckley doesn't like what he's hearing, at all.
