The Dream: Not By The Color Of Their Skin But The Content Of Their Character

Today, more than at any point in recent history, America is embroiled in racial strife and animosity.  There continues to be racial profiling of blacks, Latinos, and Muslims.  There is a steady increase of hate crimes. The membership in hate groups like White Supremacists and White Nationalists continues to grow.  And unarmed black males continue to be shot and killed by police officers.  So, as we take a look back on tonight's program over the past 50 plus years since the March On Washington in 1963, we will consider how much closer we are to Dr. King's Dream that men, women, and children will not be " judged by the color of their skin, but rather the content of their character."

Our special guest for this program is author, blogger, and public speaker, Ms. Maura Sweeney.  Ms. Sweeney has been featured on hundreds of radio shows and podcasts as well as NBC, BBC, and European TV.  Ms. Sweeney chooses to focus on "unity" rather than "division."  Her philosophy is, "Living Happy - Inside Out."  She was originally called Ambassador of Happiness by the UNESCO Center for Peace when invited to speak at the inaugural Nelson Mandela Day celebrations.

Ms. Sweeney states, "With what we often hear talked about in our news media and culture today, and the manner in which it's all framed, it's no wonder our society feels so dis-spirited.  Yet my experience in the 'real world' has revealed much of the opposite."  Join us as Ms. Sweeney shares with us her vision, and how it relates to good news even in today's racially divided America
