Of course, I've never met him before, but just what he stood for. There are moments when I get really exhausted and weary. His speech is still true, and so for me, but I want leave for everybody, is that the dream still lives. And no matter what it looks like, no matter what it feels, the dream still lives, so keep pressing forward, said Pastor McGhee.And SGA President and University Trustee Zayla Bryant, who presided over the program, expressed what it meant to see the community come together for an event like this.The dream is shared. Its not just one persons vision for what it means to be excellent, what it means to be prosperous, or amazing, or even powerful. Because I think in this moment, you see how everybody has one aspect of this beautiful mosaic that we all like. And so moments like this, theyre not done by one person, it's done by collective, and so Im glad to be a part of that collective, said Bryant.For the FAMU community, events like todays are more than a celebration, theyre a reminder that Dr. Kings dream continues to guide and inspire each generation.At Florida AM University, Im Justin White, ABC 27.Want to see more local news?
