“I have a dream” speech 50 years ago.
"I Have a Dream" is a public speech delivered by American clergyman and activist Martin Luther King, Jr. on
"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 state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and 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. I have a dream today."
I Have a Dream that one day we all will be able
to sit down together at a table of brotherhood.
