It was 57 years ago, in 1963, when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his “I have a dream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. We failed in that moment and for the past 57 years. We failed to stay united. We failed to frame and define the issues for ourselves. We failed to stay engaged and maintain a clear vision and agenda. We failed to consistently insist upon implementing a vision and agenda we chose and set forth.
