Reflections on a Dream Deferred
The late Rep. John Lewis shares in this article—published in the Spring 2008 issue of Teaching Tolerance magazine—how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. built momentum that opened up a path to opportunities for Black people. He also notes that King inspired generations after him to continue the fight for social justice. Yet, Lewis says we still have much work to do to realize King’s dream of “a Beloved Community, a nation and a world society at peace with itself.”
