Mission
“Community-owned. Legacy-driven. Justice-focused.”
Our mission is to restore the prominence of Living the Dream, Inc. and ensure that the
observance of Dr. King’s birthday is not only symbolic but deeply substantive. We pursue
this mission through community partnerships in rendering community events -- meetings,
worship services, forums, seminars, workshops, rallies, and advocacy initiatives that
confront the enduring disparities Dr. King challenged in 1967—disparities that persist
today.
Our mission addresses:
Human rights
Education
Homelessness and housing
Incarceration and criminal justice reform
Racial Healing
Civil and voting rights
Employment and living wages
Entrepreneurship and wealth disparities
Family and youth empowerment
These are the pressing dilemmas that Living the Dream, Inc. seeks to confront—the very
issues Dr. King himself would champion if he were alive today.
