Every February thousands (if not millions) of students and educators across America, and the world, take a journey into black history as the historic feats of Martin, Rosa, and Malcolm are displayed.
What about the grandeur of the everyday dreams which grace the streets of cities? Do we recognize the beauty in the dreams of teenage mothers who face the constant crossroads of statistics, reality, and internal struggles? Do we acknowledge the work of the student athlete who give 110% at practice knowing they have three papers due by Friday?
They deserve their dreams.
I say this month we gaze upon the beauty, creativity, and innovation in everyday.
I challenge you to go out each day and recognize the daring work of a young person striving against the odds to make it.
Take the unique 29 days to marvel in the dreamers you witness accomplishing their incredible things. Onward from the brilliance and botany of George Washington Carver to the next scientific superhero. Compliment the work of the next Benjamin Mays, Empress Candace, or Toni Morrison.
Support the dreamer. Propel the world.
Look.
Listen.
Learn.
The children have something-- everything-- to say, but will you be brave enough to hear them?
Comment below if you know a young person who deserves their dreams.
