“I Have a<br />
Dream” Peace<br />
Flag Weekend<br />
<strong>Jan</strong>uary 14-15<br />
Cameron Art<br />
Museum honors<br />
the life and work of civil rights activist<br />
Martin Luther King with the “I Have a<br />
Dream” Peace Flag Project. We invite<br />
the community to take inspiration from<br />
King’s iconic speech from 1963 and think<br />
deeply about our own hopes and dreams<br />
for ourselves, our city, our nation and<br />
the world. These dreams will be written<br />
on squares of cloth, emblematic of the<br />
peace prayer flags created for centuries<br />
in Tibet. Your peace flag will be included<br />
in a community installation that will be<br />
displayed around the CAM pond. Together,<br />
these flags represent our collective desire<br />
for racial unity, community healing and<br />
peace. cameronartmuseum.org<br />
