I HAVE A DREAM

In spite of the difficulties of the moment,
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 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.

I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama...
will be transformed into a situation where
little black boys and black girls will be able
to join hands with little white boys and white girls...

I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted,
every hill and mountain shall be made low,
the rough places will be made plain,
and the crooked places will be made straight...

...From every mountainside, let freedom ring.
When we let freedom ring,...
we will be able to speed up that day when all God's children...
will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual,

"Free at last! Free at last!

Thank God Almighty, we're free at last!"
