After decades of advocacy, activism, progress, and setbacks, the need to advance social change should and does remain at the forefront of our national conversation in politics, economics, and education. We must find a way to embrace and empower a diverse group of people, ideas, and experiences every day in our journey to become a more inclusive nation. By intentionally challenging ourselves to be both dreamers and doers, we honor the legacy of those who dared to dream throughout history and provide the impetus for those who dare to dream for the future. Passion, purpose, and perseverance bring power. That power is needed now more than ever as the events of or present shape the future.
