keeping the dream alive in memphis, tn...

despite all setbacks challenging our basic freedoms and fundamental rights, somehow we continue to keep the dream alive...

on sunday, yesterday, nov. 2, i was part of an estimated 1,000 to 2,000 people who came together in tom lee memorial park on the banks of the mighty mississippi river in memphis, tn to create an aerial image of dr. martin luther king jr...,the event was a celebration of the anniversary of dr. king’s “I have a dream” speech that launched the civil rights movement...

the keep the dream alive event represented communities coming together to honor heroes and carry their human rights work forward with 6 organizations or schools including the naacp, and afscme joining amnesty international...

it was a privilege, a privilege i'm not ashamed of, to be there to make history...

peace out <3
