Generation of Dreams tells the story of two college students who are fed up with the social injustices that plague society. These students come together in hopes of getting others involved to fight these problems of racial and social inequalities. In the process of doing this, they realize they come from a generation of people who are quick to complain but at times, slow to take action.
This play brings into question the effects of social media activism, the struggles of chasing dreams, and navigating through the difficulties of trying to uplift and unite their community.The play also makes historical references to leaders such as Fred Hampton, Ella Baker, Huey P Newton and other community organizers.
