Our Civil Rights Experience: The Dream, At Fifty
Dr. King had a Dream of a society where people were judged by character, not skin color, and where barriers to personal fulfillment and autonomy would disappear. Chris Cooke and Dennis Mack organized a panel of classmates who worked to implement the Dream in various ways to explore how the Dream has evolved, whether actions done to advance it have amounted to real progress, what additional actions, if any, might be taken, and what we as individuals can do to finally realize its fulfillment. Thursday, May 28, 3:15 PM – 4:45 PM
