“Dream of Nation contains some of the most potent and powerful voices in our nation. Fears you may hold about the future of America or Americans can be vanquished here. You can read Dream from the

middle out, from the back forwards, or from the beginning, it makes no difference. Everywhere

there is mettle, ingenuity and heart in clear declarative prose, backed up by facts.”

“Dream of a Nation reminds us of what we have in common—and all that we can build when we work together. From politics to the environment to the media, the work in Dream

of a Nation points the way towards a better and more equitable future. The blueprint is here—we just have to follow it.”

^ Bryan Walsh, TIME Magazine

“The most important thing humanity can do is believe in itself. That we can grow, we can change, we can rouse ourselves in time to make big changes happen. Dream of a Nation encourages movement in this direction. It offers hundreds of

ideas and examples of how smart, committed and daring we can be.”

^ Alice Walker

“Dream of a Nation moves us past party lines and into the realm of what is possible. This important work guides even the most disillusioned of us toward innovative measures

that, if implemented, could benefit society in amazing ways and make citizen activists out of us all. Inspiring!”

^ Jennifer Grayson, The Huffington Post

“Dream of a Nation is a rare gem. If you can only read one book on how to address the big challenges of our time, this is it.”

“The perfect blend of text and graphics to spell out what can and should be done to move the country forward. A must read for anyone that

wants to be a part of the solution.”

� ^� Publishers Weekly

“Dream of Nation contains some of the most potent and powerful voices in our nation. Fears you may hold about the future of America or Americans can be vanquished here. You can read Dream from the

middle out, from the back forwards, or from the beginning, it makes no difference. Everywhere

there is mettle, ingenuity and heart in clear declarative prose, backed up by facts.”

“Dream of a Nation reminds us of what we have in common—and all that we can build when we work together. From politics to the environment to the media, the work in Dream

of a Nation points the way towards a better and more equitable future. The blueprint is here—we just have to follow it.”

^ Bryan Walsh, TIME Magazine

“The most important thing humanity can do is believe in itself. That we can grow, we can change, we can rouse ourselves in time to make big changes happen. Dream of a Nation encourages movement in this direction. It offers hundreds of

ideas and examples of how smart, committed and daring we can be.”

^ Alice Walker

“Dream of a Nation moves us past party lines and into the realm of what is possible. This important work guides even the most disillusioned of us toward innovative measures

that, if implemented, could benefit society in amazing ways and make citizen activists out of us all. Inspiring!”

^ Jennifer Grayson, The Huffington Post

“Dream of a Nation is a rare gem. If you can only read one book on how to address the big challenges of our time, this is it.”

^ Noelle Skodzinski, Book Business Magazine

“The perfect blend of text and graphics to spell out what can and should be done to move the country forward. A must read for anyone that

wants to be a part of the solution.”

� ^� Publishers Weekly

“Dream of Nation contains some of the most potent and powerful voices in our nation. Fears you may hold about the future of America or Americans can be vanquished here. You can read Dream from the

middle out, from the back forwards, or from the beginning, it makes no difference. Everywhere

there is mettle, ingenuity and heart in clear declarative prose, backed up by facts.”

“Dream of a Nation reminds us of what we have in common—and all that we can build when we work together. From politics to the environment to the media, the work in Dream

of a Nation points the way towards a better and more equitable future. The blueprint is here—we just have to follow it.”

^ Bryan Walsh, TIME Magazine

“The most important thing humanity can do is believe in itself. That we can grow, we can change, we can rouse ourselves in time to make big changes happen. Dream of a Nation encourages movement in this direction. It offers hundreds of

ideas and examples of how smart, committed and daring we can be.”

^ Alice Walker

“Dream of a Nation moves us past party lines and into the realm of what is possible. This important work guides even the most disillusioned of us toward innovative measures

that, if implemented, could benefit society in amazing ways and make citizen activists out of us all. Inspiring!”

^ Jennifer Grayson, The Huffington Post

“Dream of a Nation is a rare gem. If you can only read one book on how to address the big challenges of our time, this is it.”

“The perfect blend of text and graphics to spell

out what can and should be done to move the

country forward. A must read for anyone that

wants to be a part of the solution.”

� ^� Publishers Weekly

“Dream of Nation contains some of the most potent

and powerful voices in our nation. Fears you may

hold about the future of America or Americans can

be vanquished here. You can read Dream from the

middle out, from the back forwards, or from the

beginning, it makes no difference. Everywhere

there is mettle, ingenuity and heart in clear

declarative prose, backed up by facts.”

“Dream of a Nation reminds us of what we have in common—and all that we can build

when we work together. From politics to the environment to the media, the work in Dream

of a Nation points the way towards a better and more equitable future. The blueprint is

here—we just have to follow it.”

^ Bryan Walsh, TIME Magazine

“The most important thing humanity can do is believe in itself. That we can grow,

we can change, we can rouse ourselves in time to make big changes happen.

Dream of a Nation encourages movement in this direction. It offers hundreds of

ideas and examples of how smart, committed and daring we can be.”

Alice Walker

“Dream of a Nation moves us past party lines and into the realm of what is possible.

This important work guides even the most disillusioned of us toward innovative measures

that, if implemented, could benefit society in amazing ways and make citizen activists

out of us all. Inspiring!”

^ Jennifer Grayson, The Huffington Post

“Dream of a Nation is a rare gem. If you can only read one book on how to address

the big challenges of our time, this is it.”
