Through Music It has always been music's job to bring the community together, in churches, schools, ballparks, during the peace and civil rights movements, and as a nation.
Community building is an important part of reducing violence.
All of us have dreams for our lives and the life of the world. This lesson begins with the famous question posed by poet Langston Hughes and juxtaposes the tragedies of violence against the waking dreams we would all like to realize, through the stories in the music, the words of Dr King and others and the poetry of Langston Hughes.
