Martin Luther King Jr.’s words, in our soundbite driven society, have been reduced to “I Have a Dream”. Deep in the text of this landmark speech are words that our country, sadly enough, is distancing itself from under the guise of diversity. While cultural diversity is beautiful, the lack of focus on our commonalities causes needless disunity and fragmentation. We’re afraid to talk about race, unsure of which label is current and ‘PC’, and avoid meaningful conversations that bring us closer to useful understanding and action. This presentation provides a constructive dialogue.
