On August 28th 1963, Martin Luther King Jr delivered the I Have a Dream Speech. In 17 minutes, he spoke to an unjust present, from an imagined just future. In the darkest hours of racial prejudice, he illustrated a future which gave people a reason to endure. If only to see that day.
I have my own dream.
My motivation in writing this blog, in activism and in campaigning is motivated not simply by outrage at what is, but by this dream I have of the infinite possibilities for humankind if we thought and organised in a new way.
In my dream future I am giving a speech to the graduating class of my grandchildren’s generation.
I’ve never written the speech down. Today, I share it with you.
