Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech will have a new home at the Gmelich Family Gallery at Villanova University thanks to a $25 million gift from Justin and Victoria Gmelich.
The gallery will house historic Civil Rights documents, including MLK’s famous speech, which the couple helped bring to Villanova in 2021.
At the Prohuman Foundation, we are grateful that MLK’s “I Have a Dream” speech will be carefully stewarded at Villanova—not locked away, but displayed, studied, and celebrated. We launched our Renewing the Dream initiative to revitalize the stone marker where MLK delivered that very speech with these same goals in mind.
With the support of lawmakers in both the House and the Senate, the Renewing the Dream Act would authorize private donations to fund a more visible and dignified marker on those steps.

The U.S. Senate now has its own version of the bipartisan Renewing the Dream Act, introduced on October 15, 2026, by Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) together with Senator Tim Scott (R-SC).
The bill marks a milestone for the Prohuman Foundation's Renewing the Dream initiative, federal legislation to authorize a more visible and dignified marker at the Lincoln Memorial.
With bills now introduced in both the House and the Senate, we are one step closer to renewing the marker where Dr. King stood, and the brotherhood he called America to build.

The National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia presented its Flame of Liberty Award to Prohuman Foundation co-founder and Global Ambassador Daryl Davis on Thursday.
The award "honors an individual who exemplifies freedom of thought, civil discourse, and respect for all." For more than four decades, Davis has embodied those ideals, sitting down with members of the Ku Klux Klan and other white supremacist groups to ask a simple question: "How can you hate me when you don't even know me?"
In announcing the honor, National Liberty Museum President and CEO Alaine Arnott wrote that Daryl's work "brings our focus on freedom of assembly to life." In its recap of the evening, the museum added that through these personal encounters, Daryl "has persuaded numerous individuals to reconsider and ultimately renounce their racist beliefs."
Daryl's life reminds us that every conversation is a chance to recognize the inherent dignity in one another, and that people are capable of change. Congratulations, Daryl, on this well-deserved honor.

Last week, we met at the College of Charleston for The Prohuman Foundation Symposium 2026: Renewing the Dream.
We were honored to co-host this inaugural gathering of Prohuman Ambassadors, advisors, and supporters alongside the College of Charleston’s Civility Initiative. Our Prohuman Foundation advisor and Civility Initiative Director Michael Lee, whose leadership and partnership helped cultivate an atmosphere of true curiosity, warmth, and civil dialogue.
Guided by the vision of brotherhood Dr. King called our nation to build, we spent three days focused on the foundation’s core values: growth mindset, positive connections, and social harmony. We heard from speakers—including Prohuman Foundation co-founder Daryl Davis and advisors Fred Luskin and Zander Keig—on curiosity, pluralism, compassion, forgiveness, and well-being.
To everyone who walked along the waterfront, filled the Tate Center, and closed the evening with us at the Charleston Library Society: thank you for being a champion for the inherent dignity of every person, and for being an essential part of Renewing the Dream.

There's a parable, often cited between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur, about a king who exiled his son. Over years, the king's heart softened, so he sent messengers asking his son to return. Still bitter, the son replied that the distance was too far, so the king sent a final as you can according to your strength, and I will come the rest of the way to meet you."
Yom Kippur, which begins tomorrow at sundown, calls all of us to inward reflection, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Here’s to finding the strength for that first step, whatever the distance.

Politics didn't used to work like this: "the party should reflect voters' values — they shouldn't be setting values for voters." — @Lura_Forcum
We get into purity tests, tribalism, and why disagreeing with your own side shouldn't make you a traitor to it. New episode is live. 🎧 🧵

On September 16, 2026, the Prohuman Foundation’s Renewing the Dream initiative reached an important milestone: the introduction of bipartisan legislation in Congress.
Representatives Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Stephanie Bice (R-OK), Hank Johnson (D-GA), and Lauren Boebert (R-CO) he bipartisan Renewing the Dream Act in the House of Representatives, joined by original cosponsors Representatives Andy Barr (R-KY) and Lucy McBath (D-GA).
The legislation would authorize the National Park Service to replace the worn marker where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his historic “I Have a Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial with a durable, dignified new design.
The Prohuman Foundation is raising the funds for the marker through its Renewing the Dream initiative, with no taxpayer funding.
