“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.
What happened
to distinctly american
dream
of liberty & justice 
for ALL,
equal opportunity
regardless
of race?
What happened
to respect
for human life,
our constitutional
law & order,
non-violent freedom of
speech & assembly?
What happened
to ONE nation
under God?
Wake to dream again!
