"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true
meaning of it's creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men
are created equal."
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 down together
at the table of brotherhood.
I have a drem that one day the state of Mississippi, a state of sweltering
with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be
transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where
they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of
their character.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with it's vicious racists, with
it's govenor having his lips drippping with the words of "interposition" and
"nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls
will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and
brothers.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and
mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the
crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be
revealed and all flesh shall see it together."
This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the south with.
With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone
of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of
our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be
able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together,
to stand up for freedom together, Knowning that we will be free one day!"
