We Had a Dream: Reflections on America--Then and Now.
Seeking submissions of personal essay, memoir and social commentary on the
sixties and seventies in America. This unique anthology bases it central concept
around Martin Luther King’s famous speech--addressing specific chapters to such
issues as the promissory note, the redemptive nature of suffering and "the
fierce urgency of now."
It is the editor’s view that Dr. King’s speech is just as relevant in our world
as it was in 1963, and that the sixties and seventies in America, as much as
that era has been trivialized in the decades since, laid the foundation for a
personal, political and spiritual revolution in America. And yet, the dreams of
brotherhood, of community, and prosperity for all have yet to be fulfilled. As a
people and as a nation, we yearn to take a place in the global community. We
yearn for peace and prosperity and yet face the same issues we faced four
decades ago.
As the Baby Boomer generation matures, we constitute a powerful social and
political force. Can we look back on where we’ve been and find in those decades
not just the roots of our ideals--but the means to fulfill them?
Submissions may be emailed to
Tkennedyea@aol.com..doc only format, please. 5000 word limit Authors will be compensated. Published authors preferred.

in the writing of others and in our own. |
