I have a dream that one day this
nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its 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 dream that one day even
the state of Mississippi, a state 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!
