The Walk That Changed the World
In 1965 Martin Luther King led a march between the cities of Selma and Montgomery, Alabama USA. The marchers faced violence, intimidation and difficult conditions, but over the course of that 50 mile walk, thousands of people joined to raise awareness around the world and bring about huge changes to the rights of black people in the US.
It was a walk that means a lot to presenter Radzi Chinyanganya. Growing up in Wolverhampton with a black father and white mother, Martin Luther King was his hero - and so to remember what those marchers achieved and to tell the story of what happened he'll be walking in the footsteps of those civil rights history makers.
In a special edition he'll walk the same route, and along the way he'll be meeting some of those at the centre of what happened in 1965: Senator John Lewis, who led the marches, and is cited by Barak Obama as one of the inspirations behind his rise to become President of the United States; Sheyann Webb, who was just eight years old when she faced police brutality on the Edmond Pettus Bridge; and Reverend Fredrick Reese - reverend of the Selma church the march left from.
Radzi will also be meeting some of the children whose life growing up in America has been affected by the civil rights movement, and find out what that part of history means to them. He'll be eating the same food, walking the same roads, and hearing the music that inspired them, to try and experience some of what those protestors experienced back then, to discover how what happened in one corner of Alabama has affected the USA today.
Join him on his journey to discover the walk that changed the course of history - the walk that changed the world.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015.
Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
