And though we face difficulties today and will face them tomorrow, I still have a dream. This dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
I dream that one day this nation will straighten and will live in accordance with the true meaning of its principle: "We hold it self-evident that all men are created equal".
I dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together behind a brotherly table.
I dream that the day will come and even the state of Mississippi, sweltering the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I dream that the day will come when my four children will live in a country where they will be judged not by the color of their skin, and in accordance with their personal qualities.
I have a dream today!
I have a dream today that one day in Alabama with its vicious racists and the Governor, with the lips which the words slip of intervention and withdrawal in one day in Alabama little black boys and girls will take as sisters and brothers hands with little white boys and girls.
