Nasrdin Dchar

Dutch-Moroccan actor Nasrdin Dchar was born in Rotterdam, and played in movies like Rabat (2011), Sorry (2012) and Deadline (2008). He was the first Dutch-Moroccan to receive a Golden Calf (the Dutch Oscar) in 2011 for Best Actor in the movie Rabat. In his emotional speech he said: "I'm Dutch, I'm proud on my Moroccan blood, I'm a muslim, and I've got a f**ing Golden Calf in my hands". In 2016 he was initiator of Ieder1 (Everybody One), a movement to encourage unity and an inclusive society for all people. This resulted in a march through Amsterdam, attended by 10.000 people. In 2017 he was invited by the Martin Luther King Lecture to read his message: A Dream For Everybody.

Where do we go from here: Chaos or Community?

On April 4, 1968, it was 50 years ago that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. To keep his dream alive, 50 identical statues were placed from Amsterdam to Washington on locations that refer to slavery and places that let us remember how important it is to end racism and fight for equality, regardless of gender, religion and race. History may not be forgotten. The statues are an ode to Martin Luther King and everybody who continues his nonviolent mission. Keeping the dream alive.

Colophon

"I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today."

- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
