Part of Martin Luther King speech

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 the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table 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 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 revered and all flesh shall see it together


-Martin Luther King, Jr.
