The Dream Reborn

On April 4-6 2008, the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Green Guerrillas participated in The Dream Reborn an amazing gathering, sponsored by Green For All, where over 1000 organizers (youth, used-to-be-youth, and elders) representing the totality of social justice issues affecting communities of color throughout the country joined forces, shared struggles, celebrated our cultures, and connected the dots to create sustainable change.

Green Guerrillas also shared in the powerful events which commemorated the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We joined hundreds of people at the National Civil Rights Museum when Dr. Kings family addressed the crowd from the balcony of the Lorraine Motel.

As part of the Green For All video team, Green Guerrillas helped document the dreams of dozens of people, and taped several panels and workshops. Green Guerrillas were the youngest members of the grassroots collective responsible for recording this historic event, and were very well received!

It was a powerful experience... we are still talking about it!
