- Summary:
- Martin Luther King, Jr., dreamed of a day when black children were judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. His eloquent charge became the single greatest inspiration for the achievement of racial justice in America. In her powerful fourth book in the Children of Conflict series, Laurel Holliday explores how far we have come as she presents thirty-eight African-Americans who share their experiences as Children of the Dream. Here, their stories come alive, in portraits of dreams lost and found, and of the struggle to achieve full opportunity in America today. Their voices, their courage, their resilience - and their understanding - offer hope for us all.
