2: Journalist and former anchor of the CBS News, WALTER CRONKITE. Thirty years after Martin Luther King delivered his "I Have A Dream" speech, CHRONKITE questions whether African-Americans choose to integrate into society or socialize primarily with each other. CRONKITE's newest project "The Faltering Dream," questions whether integration is still a goal or if a "equal but separate" is a more appropriate approach to race relations. In "The Faltering Dream," CRONKITE interviews notable black leaders including Reverend Jesse Jackson and Spike Lee. CRONKITE worked at CBS News for 31 years.
