This is an extract of the famous speechAugust 28. 1963 I say to you today, my friends, that in spite ofthe difficulties and frustrationsof the moment, 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 riseup and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths tobe self - evident: that all men are created equal."I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgiathe sons of former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be ableto sit down together at atable of brotherhood.I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi,desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, willbe transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.I have a dream that my four children will one daylive in a nation where they will not be hudged by their color of theirskin but by the content of their character.I have a dream today.I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama,whose governor´s lips are presently dripping with the words of interpositionand nullification, will be transformed into a situation where little blackboys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boysand white girls and walk together as sisters and brothers.I have a dream today.I have a dream that one day every valley shall beexalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places willbe made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the gloryof the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
