'I HAVE A DREAM'
|
|
|
|
I say to you today, my friends, 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 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 one day even the state of Mississippi, a 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 little children will one day live in a nation
|
|
where they sill 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,
|
|
every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will
|
|
be made plain and the crooked places will be made straight, and
|
|
glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it
|
|
together.
|
|
|
|
This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South
|
|
with...
|
|
|
|
With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain
|
|
of despair a stone of hope.
|
|
|
|
With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling
|
|
discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of
|
|
brotherhood.
|
|
|
|
With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray
|
|
together, to sit together, to go to jail together,
|
|
to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will
|
|
be free one day.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to
|
|
sing with new meaning:
|
|
|
|
My country 'tis of thee, Land where my fathers died,
|
|
Sweet land of liberty Land of the pilgrims' pride,
|
|
Of thee I sing; From every mountain-side
|
|
Let freedom ring.
|
|
|
|
And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.
|
|
So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
|
|
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York, let
|
|
freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.
|
|
Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado. Let
|
|
freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. But not
|
|
only that, let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia.
|
|
|
|
Let Freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.
|
|
|
|
Let Freedom ring from every hill an molehill of Mississippi,
|
|
from every mountainside, let freedom ring. And when we allow
|
|
freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village, from
|
|
every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to
|
|
speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white
|
|
men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, 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 are FREE AT LAST!"
|
