Blog post: The Full Dream - A revolution of values

[Helen]

Dear friend,

A new blog posting and a reminder about the next Fast for the Planet
main event below...

1. The Full Dream: A Revolution of Values

For me, this past week has felt like watching the production of a film
or tv show because until now, minority presidents only existed in the
realm of imagination. But as reality began to set in about a
refreshing new leader in America, I was inspired to read more about
the man invoked most often along the path toward the election of our
first African American president. I wondered what his spirit would say
to President Obama-or more importantly what it would guide we as a
people to do to make the most of this extraordinary opportunity. So I
decided to read more of Dr. King's other speeches, to go beyond the
soundbytes. What I discovered was that we do a tremendous disservice
to his legacy and ourselves by reducing his dream to a few statements
from the end of one of his speeches-as powerful as they are. We need
to understand his full dream so that we can work toward actualizing
it.
