Smolski Texts

Soul City Deserves To Succeed, Chester Smolski
Soul City Deserves To Succeed, Chester Smolski
Smolski Texts
"Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream--a dream of equal opportunity and justice for all. An assassin's bullet prevented him from realizing his dream. His friend and well-known leader in the civil rights movement also had a dream--a dream to build a new town in which the injustices of society would be lessened. Today, in the rolling farmland country of North Carolina, Floyd McKissick is working to fulfill his long sought dream."
