I have a Drea -by Martin Luther King

I have a Drea

by Martin Luther King    August 28,1963

    I say to you today,my friends, so eventhough we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow ,I still  have adream .It is a dream deeply rooted in the American  dream .

    I have a dream that on day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of itscreed:”We hold these truths to be self-evident ;that all man are created equal ”.

    I have a dream that on day on that red hills of Georgia THS sons offormer slaves and the sons of former slaveowners will be able to sit downtogether at the table of brotherhood ;I have a dream ……

    That one day even the state of Mississippi ,a desert state swelteringwith the heat of injustice ,sweltering with the heat of oppression ,will betransformed into an oasis of freedom and justice ;I have a dream

    That my four little children will one day live in a nation where theywill not be judged building the color of their skin but by the content of theycharacter ;I have a dream today.

     I have a dream that on day downin Alabama ,with its vicious racists ,with its governor having his lipsdripping with the words of interposition and nullication ,one day right therein Alabama litter black boys and black girls will be able to join hands withlittle white little boys and white  girlsas sisters and brothers ;I have a dream today .

    I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted ,every hilland mountain shall be made low ,and rough places will be made plane and crookedplaces will be made straight ,and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed andall flesh shall see it together .Tihs is our hope .

    This is the faith that I go back to the South .With this faith we willbe able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope . With this faithwe will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into abeautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to worktogether ,to play together ,to straggle together ,to to to jail together ,to standup for freedom together ,knowing that work will be free on day .

    This will be the day ,this will be the day when all of God’s childrenwill be able to sing with a new meaning :

    “my country ,tissue of thee,

    sweet land of liberty,

    Of thee I sing

    Land where my father died,

    Land of pilgrim’s pride   

    From every mountainside ,

    Let freedom ting."

    And if American is to be a great nation this must become true .

    So let freedom ring from the prodigious hill tops of New Hampshire .

    Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York!

    Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania!

    Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado !

    Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California !

    But bot only that ; Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of George !

    Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee !

    Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi .Fromevery mountainside ,let freedom ring !

    When it happens.When we allow freedom ring ,when we let it ring fromevery village and every hamlet,from every state and every city ,we will be ableto speed up that day when all of God’s children ,black men and white men ,Jewsand Gentiles ,Protestants and Catholics ,will be able to join hands and sing inthe words of the old negro spiral :”Free at last !Free at last !Thank GodAlmighty ,words are free at last !”
