Talk with adults who have lived through changes in the last 50 years. Fresno County’s community leaders would like to determine the progress that has been made and understand what still needs to be accomplished. Using the information you have gathered from interviews and research, write a report to community leaders about society’s progress toward fulfilling Dr. King’s dream. Based on your information, what changes over the past 50 years have brought us closer to the vision that Dr. King had for our nation?
