There’s a struggle going on [“Thank you Jesus”]
yet dreams
never die.
It is in the midst of struggle
that dreams become a reality
It’s in the midst of struggle
that dreams take on new meaning and
provide new hope for those who are oppressed
and struggling
Dreams never dry – die.
But not just in our
nation
do we still experience injustice,
corruption,
but even in our own community.
As Brother Campbell reminded us so eloquently this morning
of how we continue
to choose a particular area
to inflict further injustice on a people just because of the color of their skin or because of their lack of
political or economic power.
There’s a struggle
going on.
And what we have to come together as a community and understand
is that Chapel Hill is-is not just
the historic district
Chapel Hill is not just
the elitist district
but Chapel Hill is composed of Richfield [“uh-huh”]
and Rogers Road [“c’mon”]
and Northside. [“yes”]
[clapping]
And decisions and policies that we make
ought to embrace dreams.
Dreams of a better place
-and a better time
-and a better situation
for all of Chapel Hill.
There’s a struggle going on.
