  Leon Franklin, a 21-year-old student at Gammon Theological Seminary in Atlanta, says he and his peers have had to interpret the dream for themselves "in a cloudy landscape of ideas and interpretations" that leave them "frustrated and confused."He finds that ironic, he says, because "young adults are the dream."
  
  "Young adults comprise the first generation of Americans raised in integrated public school systems, and Jim Crow and ‘de jure' segregation exist in their minds as pages in history books," he says.While the parents hoped their children would grow up in a prejudice-free society, Franklin sees evidence that racism and racial tension remain problems - the verdict and riots that followed the trial of white Los Angeles police officers accused of beating black motorist Rodney King; the use of Native American imagery in professional sports; the profiling of Arab Americans in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks; and attempts to roll back affirmative action.
  ...
  However, young adults possess greater tolerance because colleges and universities now offer courses in multicultural studies that help build sensitivity to the ethnic and cultural traditions of the United States and the world, Franklin said.
