Sharing the Dream

Agnes can hardly contain her excitement! Shes headed to the March on Washington. Sitting on her fathers shoulders, shes awed by the sea of peoplepeople of every colour, gathered together to be a part of the fight for equal rights for Black people. She soaks in the words of John Lewis and Josephine Baker and is mesmerised by Mahalia Jacksons singing. Then Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gives a speech about his dreams for his childrenfor all children. On the bus ride home, Agnes has her own dream: that the words of Dr. King would be heard and embraced by the whole world.
