What Does Dr. King's "Dream" Mean to You?

Sponsored by: Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial



"And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream..." -- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

In August of 1963, while standing on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in front of 250,000 civil rights protestors, Dr. King delivered his most famous speech, "I Have a Dream".

In that speech, he prodded the American conscience and spoke of the moral force that hungered for justice and equality. His was a message of civil rights and economic justice, a message that lives on beyond that moment in 1963.

And almost 46 years later with Barack Obama as President, the truth in Dr. King's words still moves us. So in celebration of Dr. King's message and legacy, we're asking for your thoughts on "The Dream." How does "The Dream" live on?

Please take a moment to tell us, "What does "The Dream" mean to you?"

It means that peace and justice can achieved through nonviolent direct action, and youth must continue to be inspired to work towards social justice in diverse communities.

That all human beings are able to achieve their highest potential in a society which promotes human dignity, equality, freedom and participation. That we strive to live according to the ideals of community and social justice, and treat each other with respect and caring. I believe in his dream and his pacifism and he reflects a true visionary who maintains that cooperation and consensus can be achieved through good will. I also believe that we can protect the environment and extend our good will towards animals as well as I believe in animal rights.

Dr. Martin Luther King's "I had a Dream" speech was so riviting. There has never been anything like it. He died in action, pacivist action, not hurting anyone, but by the power of his words. By the power of his words he could move people and make change, and that was more threatening than anything. We should remember that love is the most powerful force. If you do not take the time to know people, and you ralley all your energies against an enemy then the enemy will grow. Martin Luther King was murdered but his message resonates.
