Designated Dreamers
From the personal to the political, designated
dreamers compel us to uplift ourselves and our
communities. With unflinching determination they can
bend the arc of history, and shape new lenses to

delight, intrigue, and inspire. Lolita Parker, Jr's
images are a tribute to those who dream with open
minds, hearts, and hands.
