"Sixty years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic 'I Have a Dream' speech, in which he envisioned a world free from racism and discrimination. Today, we're going to explore how the beloved science fiction franchise Star Trek, created by Gene Roddenberry, has helped to bring that dream to life. From its inception, Star Trek has been a pioneer in promoting diversity and inclusion on TV and in popular culture. Join us as we take a look at how Roddenberry’s dream and the show's optimistic vision of the future align with the teachings of Martin Luther King Jr. and how it continues to inspire change in the present day.  "Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plain of dignity and discipline.” -I Have a Dream (8/28/63)
