Implementing the Dream By KELLI CULLIMORE To dream the impossible is what America is all about Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream was a dream that this world lives by presently and hopefully forever. The future America is held in our dreams of today. What our children will do with these dreams is up to us. We must continue to fulfill King's dream. We must prove to ourselves and to our children that dreams can come true. With the support of mankind, this world will not become hopeless but is and can be one of greater power and unity. hi order to unite in our dream we must destroy prejudice. We are all members of the human race; therefore, the color of a person's skin should not be an issue. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a man who was brave enough to speak up, to stand up for what he believed in; a man willing to share his dreams, to make life better not only for his generation, but also for our generation and future generations. He had a dream of hope, love, unity and liberty; for all mankind to be of one heart Most of all he had a dream for freedom; that all people of any race, religion, or group may have equal rights. A Today, we are more equal but still there are people who are strug- gling, stranded, waiting for someone to reach out and help; someone to pick them up, to carry them on. We must not leave our problems for the future to handle. Our children must be taught to dream the impossible, for the future will be left in their hands.
