Every January, we remember the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. and his inspiring dream for a country free of oppression and hatred. The year "1963 is not an end, but a beginning," Dr. King declared on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial to hundreds of thousands of hopeful listeners. His dream has yet to be fully realized, but the fight for equality continues today.
The communities featured in Embracing the Dream: Lessons from the Not In Our Town Movement highlight some of the victories in this march for social justice. Four individual films are included in this collection. Each film is preceded by individual perspectives on Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy today. You may also download the Embracing the Dream discussion guide, which is useful to spark discussion in your classroom, boardroom or lunchroom. We are so pleased that schools, churches and corporations will be incorporating these stories into their holiday lesson plans and activities.
