I Have a Dream
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 slaveowners will be able to
sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even
the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice
and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I
have a dream that my four 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.
- Martin Luther King Jr., March on Washington, 28th August, 1963.
