Five Things Blacks Must Do to Keep Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s Dream from Becoming a Nightmare

In Langston Hughes’ short but epic poem, “Dreams,” published in 1922, he reminds us of their importance when he writes

                                                                                        Hold fast to dreams

                                                                                        For if dreams die

                                                                                        Life is a broken-winged bird

                                                                                        That cannot fly.
