In my last two posts I talked about Dr. Martin Luther King’s great “I have a dream” speech and the art show I participated in back in February.

That show asked the question:  What difference did Dr. King's speech make around the world?

Decades after Dr. King delivered it, the speech has been taken on by artists around the world—which tells me that the spirit of the speech is still interwoven in every culture.  To this day, it changes lives.

Dr. King had a dream, a dream that I share, that not only African-American children, but white children, Islamic children, Jewish children, atheist children, and so on, can all walk in peace from their home to school without being beaten up or killed because of what books they read or who their parents are—that we as a people will accept each other as we are, still arguing our points of view, still being who we are, but not making fun of or killing people who do not agree with us.

All of these principles live within the fabric, the history, and the memory of the culture.  It is part of who and what we are.
