“...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 equal.'
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

transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

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.
I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama,

myself, I wondered who he was talking about.
It’s always good to have your closest friend
and associate say something good about you.
And Ralph is the best friend that I have in the
world. I'm delighted to see each of you here
tonight in spite of a storm warning. You reveal
that you are determined to go on anyhow.
