"…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 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!" Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. August 28, 1963
