Sleeping through the Dream
Produced by: Askia Muhammad
In 1963 Dr. Martin Luther King led the March on Washington and spoke the famous words "I have a dream." Then 18 year-old Producer Askia Muhammad was, as he recalls, 'sleeping through the dream.' Growing up in Los Angeles, Muhammad was far away from the civil rights uproar and any self-proclaimed political consciousness. Now 40 years later, Muhammad revisits his youth with two close friends. Join us for the journey of a young man's political awakening during a time of intense social unrest.

Program Credits

Sleeping Through the Dream was produced by Askia Muhammed, with production assistance from Anu Yadav and Sound Engineer Matt McCleskey. The show was mixed by Jared Weissbrot. Special thanks to the Pacifica Radio Archives.
