While the concept of the American Dream is an enduring idea, predating the union itself, the term “American Dream” was coined in 1931 by James Truslow Adams as "that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement." However, throughout history, this dream has been repeatedly denied to marginalized groups. Jaime Harrison, the current chairman of the Democratic National Party, seeks to change that. In this episode of The Outspoken Leader, Harrison revises Adams’s definition of the American Dream and serves as a success story of that dream.
