This is not totally surprising because New Hampshire does not have many African-Americans living there. I graduated high school in 1988 in New York and know there were events then that commemorated MLK's I Have a Dream speech. Also, New Hampshire was the last state in the US to honour MLK as a state holiday in 1991.

I was 20 in 1988. In fact I was in New Hampshire, America for 12 weeks, from July to Sept 1988. And I don't recall a single incident commemorating the 25th Anniversary of MLK's Dream speech. Was the occasion marked in the UK? Was it marked in other parts of America?
