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. 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 of a dream that one day 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 in Mountings shall be made low. The rough places will be made plain and the

crooked places will be made straight and the go of the Lord shall be revealed

and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope and this is the faith that I

go back to the South with with this faith. We will be able to you out of the

mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to

transform the jangling discards of our nation into a beautiful symphony of

brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to

struggle 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. This will be the day

with all of God's children. Be able to sing with new meaning my country tears of

the sweet land of liberty of the I sing land where my father's died land of the

pilgrim spry from every mountainside. Let freedom ring in America's 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 alligators of Pennsylvania. Let freedom

ring from the snowcap rock is the 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 and low hill of Mississippi from every mountainside. Let

freedom ring when we allow freedom ring. When we let it ring from every village and

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 all

of us. Thank God almighty. We are free at land.
