To Dream Again

To Dream Again provides inspiration to engage students in carrying out the work of Martin Luther King, Jr. in today's world. Anthony Welch brings Dr. King's voice to life by shedding historic light on the issues of today. Educators will take their instruction to new heights by using this book as a launchpad to challenge students to use their knowledge and skills to change their world, following in the path of this great leader.” – Teri Dary, Service-Learning Consultant, Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction

“The book serves as a model of the power of personal reflection, as Anthony Welch confronts the moral dilemmas of today’s headlines armed with the insight and hope embodied in Dr. King’s thoughts and actions. The style is accessible and the reference materials pertinent and useful. I recommend To Dream Again as an excellent resource, especially for social studies and history teachers, as part of a comprehensive approach to providing character education.” – Dr. Phil Brown, Director of the New Jersey Center for Character Education at Rutgers University

“Wow! What a valuable resource for those who are trying to connect with community and make social change!” – Educator from a school district in Texas

“I am touched by your writing, and the message of your book. I take the book with me to Borders bookstore to look for more to read, using the list of recommended books in the resource guide section of To Dream Again.” - Educator from a school district in Hawaii

“After reading your book, I began to realize that this is much more than a book, it is an invitation to dream, with a plan to act, complete with a comprehensive list of resources - I call that an action plan possibly leading to a Movement! Bravo! I downloaded a copy of your educator activities and gave them to several classroom teachers resulting in some inspirational classroom discussions, several class projects and a class trip to a local soup kitchen. A report is being prepared by each student listing where they went, what they saw and heard, what small and significant things they can do about poverty and homelessness and what they recommend the larger community do about a growing and pervasive problem. Following on, as a class project, they are preparing a community resource booklet listing nonprofit and other community organizations concerned with service-education, poverty and homelessness.” – Educator from a school district in New Jersey
