‘My ancestors came to America in chains. When slavery was abolished, we were considered three-fifths and separated to an inferior societal status. So I dream the dream of a people who have come this far by faith. I dream of an America which embodies its own declaration: that all people are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable sights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’
In his new book American Dreams, the Canadian photographer Ian Brown has collected 170 portraits of Americans along with handwritten statements of what the American dream means to them.
