An overview & welcome to Our Dream Deferred. Find out how we will explore the American story, as inspired by Langston Hughes' poem, Dream Deferred: "What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up Like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore-- And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over-- like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags like a heavy load. Or does it explode?"
