Individuals across the globe, regardless of their race, color, creed, ethnicity, or gender, proclaim that Americans are dream killers due to the injustices they perceive we have committed routinely. If our nation desires to be a beacon of hope and democracy, we must fix our nation first before assisting abroad.  If America truly desires for Black Americans to live in a country where we all can have a dream, we must realize we are in this life together. When Americans rise and become one, we can move from having and discussing a dream to realizing this is our reality.
