Dream B.I.G.


"Ultimately a genuine leader is not of consensus but a molder of consensus."
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

If you've never had the pleasure of hearing Dr. King's infamous "I Have A Dream" speech in it's entirety, please do me a favor and slap the HELL out of yourself. If done properly you should lose consciousness. So after you've come to, take a minute to get yourself together. Have a glass of water. Take a walk. Whatever it is you may need to do to get your mind right. Then after you've learned your lesson, scroll down and witness 17 minutes and 29 seconds of life altering greatness. I guarantee you will never be the same again.


I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.” I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four 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. I have a dream today.

We may have not reached the promised land yet but we've definitely made some tremendous strides...
