I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in
the American 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 slave owners will be able to sit down together
at the table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that my four little 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.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its
vicious racists, with its governor having his lips
dripping 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."
