Progress has been made, but Dr. Martin Luther King's Dream has not yet been fully realized.
Students still do not see enough examples of young, college-educated, successful minorities. We believe this situation erodes students' belief in the power of their own dreams, putting a ceiling on their potential.
But the perceived shortage is far worse than the reality. Young successful minorities do exist:
- Businesspeople
- Lawyers
- Doctors
- Entrepreneurs
- Public Servants
Yet often these examples do not rise above the noise of contemporary cultural expectations. Their stories do not reach students' ears.
Our message is self-empowerment. We will inspire the next generation, remind them to dream—through messengers who can most relate to their struggle.
All of our speakers are:
- Young
- Minorities
- College graduates
- Experienced speakers
- Graduates of public high schools
