Another chance to hear from Larry Madowo, who brings us five extraordinary stories from black history. We'll hear about one of the darkest days of the civil rights era, when a Baptist Church was bombed, killing four young black girls. We spend some time at the Dance Theatre of Harlem - the first dance company in the country to prioritise black dancers - and we remember the damning 1960s report that told the US it was fundamentally racist.
