"I have a dream" ... in 1963

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

A teenager from segregated, McComb, Mississippi lives in 61 year old architect, Ed Jackson Jr.  In the 1960s he lived in an oasis of black sufficiency - those wonderful, dignified minority neighbourhoods are no more - and 250,000 were told to stand fast at the Lincoln Memorial Mall in 1963 until ... "justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream."

His 30 foot stature to the legacy of Martin Luther King is named the Stone of Faith from a line in a King speech, "With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope."

Jackson's dream is 14 years in making and will be dedicated in seven months on the 48th anniversary of King's monumental speech.
