Bridging Blocks | The American Dream or the American Fantasy?
The idea of the American Dream dates back to the Declaration of Independence rooted in the promises of “life, liberty and pursuit of happiness”. Intended to be an inclusive philosophy, it often sparks debate about who really has access to those promises.
Is the American dream realistic in the context of when it was written? Is it realistic and attainable now?
Join us in a community conversation as we explore the concept of the American Dream and explore its origins and evolution and discuss what it looks like for families and our communities today.
