The narratives around DEI have to change so our country can move forward
“When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir … “Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked insufficient funds,” said Martin Luther King Jr. during his “I Have a Dream” speech.

When it comes to the “I Have a Dream” speech, many do not quote this passage; instead, they opt to use the quote regarding judging people by the “content of their character rather than the color of their skin.” While both speech segments are impactful and necessary, the fact that one is universally quoted by people in power over the other perfectly illustrates how narratives affect perception and obscure real issues.
