Description

In honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the Salvation Army has put together a program "Day Dreaming" which allows kids to understand the importance of dreaming and how to overcome obstacles to achieve those dreams like Dr. MLK Jr. This event is being sponsored by KC Business Besties, a group of entrepreneurs that come together to educate the community about the importance of entrepreneurship and the advantages of collaborating with one another. One of the real problems with this is when our young people are fed a myth, when they are fed a fairy tale, they are denied the opportunity to learn from the victories and the mistakes of a great man. We rob them of a chance to make a real connection to someone so eloquent and brilliant and in turn, deny them a chance to see a similar brilliance and greatness in themselves. Dr. King is one of the main people this has happened to over the years. A man who’s life is so rich and eventful has been narrowed down to 2 talking points: 1. Non-violence and 2. I Have A Dream But Dr. King stood for so much more than that. He was a father, a son, a husband, and a humanitarian. The program will start with a light breakfast, students will be divided up by age groups, and speakers will have a chance to discuss how they started with a dream or vision, and what obstacles they faced, during the discussion they will be allowed time to create a vision board and discuss why the picked particular pieces or pictures for their boards. After presentations are completed lunch will be served and the KC Business Besties will have a live Q&A session to answer questions and take comments.
