“I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of

today and tomorrow, 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, sons of former slaves and the sons of former

slaveowners 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 color of their

skin but by the content of their character.”
