Origin
In 1981, Eugene Lang returned to the Harlem elementary school that he had attended 50 years earlier to speak to the sixth grade class. On the way to the podium, the principal told Lang that three-quarters of students would never finish school. Lang made an impromptu change and promised college tuition to every sixth grader who stayed in school and graduated.
Lang told the class about witnessing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech. He urged the students to dream their own dreams and promised to do all he could to help them achieve their goals.
Lang developed personal relationships with many of the children and soon realized they needed more help than he could give them on his own. The idea for I Have A Dream Foundation was born.
