MLK, Some Thoughts on the Dream

A co-worker sent an email to the office last week that asked if we are supporting "the Dream". This was a thought provoking question one that actually made me take pause. This question becomes even more prescient when taken in the context of a presidential election year where so much is perceived to be at stake. What are the candidates themselves doing to move this nation towards social justice, economic equality (in broad terms) and prosperity for everyone? Who (from either party) is misappropriating King's legacy by invoking his name for trivial political gain?

I have more thoughts on what we can do to take up the vision of MLK but for now I would suggest reading his Letter from Birmingham Jail.
