dream is one of equality of opportunity, of
privilege and property widely distributed; a dream
of a land where men will not take necessities 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 of
his character; a dream of place where all our gifts and resources
are held not for us alone but as instruments of service for
the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every
man will respect the dignity an J worth of all human personal
