'Fifty years ago this year, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Martin Luther King, Jr. shared a vision for a future of equality for all people, regardless of race, in his "I Have a Dream" speech.

Although their efforts made historic civil rights victories possible, much work remains to close the racial divide. We are, indeed, a long way from home.'
