"I Have A Dream" is carved in the ceremonial granite of movement politics, a moment of poetry from a young preacher only five years from martyrdom, the headline moment of the high-water market of American political organizing. This week brings the 50th anniversary commemoration of that movement's mammoth achievements, and reminds us of the challenges to social justice that still lie ahead.
