Optional Viewing...follow up on our discussion of the Declaration of Independence

Michael Eric Dyson, a renowned scholar who's currently teaching at Georgetown, here examines the links between "the American Dream," Martin Luther King's "I have a dream," and Langston Hughes' "What happens to a dream deferred?"

He looks at the same apparent contradictions in the Declaration of Independence that many of you noticed, and offers a really hopeful answer.

No Dreams Deferred? Interesting and similar to some of our conclusions, he notes "the innate flexibility" of that document.
