Houston and Dallas ISD fourth- and fifth-grade students were invited to give their own interpretations of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech, answering the question "If Dr. King were speaking at a March on Washington today, what would he say?" Twelve talented finalists took the Houston stage, and the first place spot went to Amari Venzor, a fifth-grade student at Cornelius Elementary School.
