Box 39 crosses the Atlantic to our US correspondent Pamela Ennis in Washington who delivers a personal letter from America, a lament to the broken dreams of the civil rights movements of times gone by.  Introduced by Bill Lawrance, and in conversation with Iain Tallentire, Pam takes us through the last half century and questions how far the US has embraced the hopes and dreams for equality that were at the forefront of the black civil rights movement when she was born in the early 1960s.  Fantastic musical choices accompany her examination of Americas Broken Dream.

With Bill Lawrance, Iain Tallentire and Pamela Ennis.
