If you feel this year has asked you to put some dreams on hold, or even tap the brakes on an ambition. Hold onto that feeling, and then multiply it by 400 years. Then add mortal fear for your own safety and the safety of your children, your husbands, your community.
“What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up. Like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore—And then run? Does it stink like rotten meat? Or crust and sugar over—like a syrupy sweet? Maybe it just sags. Like a heavy load. Or does it *explode*?” — Langston Hughes

2019 was full of moments that show humanity at its best—compassionate, entrepreneurial, determined. And yes, hopeful. Take a look to see for yourself.
You’ve listened to the year in music. Flipped through the year in photos. Now it’s time for the #yearinhope. See the stories that warmed hearts, lifted spirits, and restored our faith throughout the year—and then share yours. obama.org/year-in-hope-2019
