The Ministry of National Education withdrew, Wednesday, August 30, a publication on social networks, in which college students told their dreams in tribute to Martin Luther King, after numerous criticisms of the lack of diversity of children, all of color white.
“Faced with the confusion caused by this video and the violence of certain comments towards the students who had enthusiastically invested in this project, the communication department of the ministry decided to remove this video from its social networks”said the ministry in a message published on X (ex-Twitter). The video was published on Tuesday on this social network, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of Martin Luther King’s famous anti-racist speech “I have a dream”, delivered on August 28, 1963 in Washington.

These five volunteer college students speak in turn facing the camera, in English, beginning their speeches with the phrase “I have a dream”, evoking “a world where we are all equal” or environmental protection.
“Thanks to the choice of students in this clip, the Ministry of National Education shows that “#IHaveADream” remains glaringly topical. As Martin Luther King said, “I dream that one day little black boys and little white girls will be able to join hands”reacted on X Dominique Sopo, president of SOS Racisme.
