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, which has been pursuing 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 heartfelt gratitude to 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.

Three years after October 7, some antiracism efforts risk reinforcing the habits of mind behind antisemitism.

This Thursday, Sep. 24: The Prohuman Book Club will meet with Kate Andersen Brower, former Bloomberg News White House reporter, to discuss her book The Residence: Inside the Private World of the White House.
This nonfiction book, which inspired a Netflix murder mystery of the same name, shines light on the real lives, duties, and inside stories of the butlers, maids, chefs, and other service staff who keep the White House running across multiple presidential administrations.

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 message:
"Walk as far 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) officially introduced the 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.

Prohuman Foundation co-founder @RealDarylDavis joined Coleman Hughes (@coldxman) who asked what, if anything, we should teach children about racism.
Daryl suggests we begin by teaching children what unites us, face history honestly, and don’t prejudice children against people they haven’t met.
That’s the Prohuman K-12 Curriculum—addressing tough topics with hope and humanity, and treating every child as a unique individual united by our shared humanity.
