The next exhibition to be hosted in the D.R.E.A.M. Gallery is titled:

BOBBY, MARTIN & JOHN: Once Upon an American Dream

This exhibition contains photographs from the archives of LOOK magazine photographer Stanley Tretick and documents the courage and struggles of three of America's greatest leaders: Martin Luther King, Jr., John F. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy, all of whom were assassinated as they campaigned on behalf of the American public.

Exhbition Dates: November 19, 2009 - February 28, 2010

The D.R.E.A.M Exhibit Gallery is a dedicated space to interpret diverse subjects that promotes public awareness, dialogue, and education. D.R.E.A.M. is an anagram for Developing Racial Equality through Art and Music and is inspired by Dr. King's quote:

     "I have the audacity to believe that people everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds and dignity, equality, and freedom for their spirits. I believe that what self-centered men have torn down, other centered men can build up."


Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr
