It's not a dream ...

"... of motor cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to attain to the fullest stature of which they are innately capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position.” page 404

In 1931, James Truslow Adams wrote The Epic of America (we have a 1932 printing in our studio). It's the first time someone talks about the American Dream—which Adams describes as "a better, richer, and happier life for all our citizens of every rank."

From this we get the inspiration for Saving the Dream. How it is. How it should be. Opinions and views from all walks of life. Right here in the good old US of A.
