King added, With the help of AmericanLife TV, which is documenting a permanent record of this tour for the entire nation to see, we will build awareness of the struggles Americans continue to face today, and will inform a dynamic discussion of the innovative solutions that will move us past this chapter of American life. By the end of this tour, our aim is to define and implement concrete steps to reduce poverty and expand opportunity, as we invite all of America to work together to build the strong communities that my father dreamed about.
