“I Choose To Love America”

When a friend shared this video with me, she asked me what did it remind me of? I knew instinctively, but chose to dance around the question, hoping not to come off overly sure of myself. What do you mean, I said, all the while busting to shout out from every pore of my being…. “I Choose To Love America.”

I Choose To Love America, the very theme of this campaign. This video tells the story of many Americans who believe in the American Dream. The same Dream of Dr. King’s speech….enjoy!
