The Jewish poet Emma Lazarus wrote, "Until we are all free, none of us are free." Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream of freedom for all black people. We look back to the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and the progress we have made -- and the progress we have not yet achieved. Some envision freedom for all, and others are trapped by nightmarish fears of "the other."

In this service, Rev. Kim Wilson offers her reflections on how imagination can either help free us or keep us trapped, and why collective liberation is ultimately the only real way forward.
