T h e dream is one of equality of opportunity, of
privilege and property widely distributed; a
dream of a land where men will not take neces
sities from the many to give luxuries to the few;
a dream of a land where men do not agree that
the color of a man’s skin determines the content

ity; the dream of a country where every man will
respect the dignity and worth of all human
personality, and men will dare to live together
as brothers...”
