The dream is a beloved community—a people on a journey—the dream is us. And when you have a dream this big, you’ll be willing to give up anything for it.”“Our dream of a beloved community is always out on the horizon—something we’re constantly reaching for and working for but will never fully achieve. It’s the dream of a people who are dispossessed of the principalities and powers; privileges and entitlements of class status, power, and wealth, for the sake of something bigger—for the sake of beloved community.”
