August 28, 1963
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, 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..................And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.
Sometimes dreams do come true...
Eventhough I didn't vote for him, I totally respect the fact that this is history in the making! How appropriate that today is the eve of Obama's inaguration.
Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
