As the time since Martin Luther King Jr.'s death grows, so too does the dissonance between the dream of the civil rights movement and the reality of what we as a nation have become. What Dr. King called the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism have become even more powerful, while our society's will to confront them has been significantly eroded. In a time where hope is losing its audacity, our ability to imagine a more just world becomes ever more imperative.
In this deeply compelling song, Kiwi asks us to imagine what our world could become if, rather than turning away, we faced this nation's enduring structures of inequality and oppression. The music video features cameos from numerous Bay Area hip-hop artists and activists, as well as excerpts from speeches by Dr. King and Malcolm X. Through these sounds and images we witness the soundtrack to a movement for racial justice, peace, and community-based "programs of social uplift." The young people pictured in this video are descendants of the civil rights movement, inheriting both its triumphs and its failures. Their generation has the ability to imagine a movement that builds on the work of MLK (and the countless others who do not have holidays in their name) and makes another, more just, world more than just a dream.
