THE NEW WORLD DREAM: PRESIDENT-elect OBAMA FULFILLS AMERICA’S DREAM(S) AND CREATES A NEW WORLD DREAM
FACT:
In 1931, historian author James Adams writes “the American DREAM is that DREAM (where) life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement.”
On August 28, 1963, civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivers “I Have a DREAM” speech where his DREAM of racial equality “is deeply rooted in the American DREAM.”
On November 4, 2008, America elects the first African-American candidate with a landslide victory, and President Elect Barack Hussein Obama proclaims “if anyone . . . still wonders if the DREAM of our founders is alive in our time . . . the answer is spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled. . . .
. . . This is our time . . . to reclaim the American DREAM and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes, we can!”
On November 5, 2008, Nobel Peace Prize winner Nelson Mandela declares the Obama victory “has demonstrated that no person anywhere in the world should not dare to DREAM of wanting to change the world for a better place.”
In the words of Tupac Shakur: “Live for the DREAM. Don’t ever quit!”
In the words of Esface: “DREAMS are a human right. Live Right. Live Free. Live Esface.”
