Joshua Packwood, a boxed-about kid from the wrong side of the railroad tracks in Kansas City, Missouri, seldom imagined that he would be the fruit of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech.
The image of little black boys and black girls joining hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers seemed quixotic in 1963, and yet in a freer and what some call a "post-racial" 2010, Packwood holds fast to the words of King.
