A dream never goes away. The dream that Martin Luther
King had was greater then any other thing. One speech that will never
be unknown is the
I have a dream speech. This speech was said in front of the Lincoln Memorial
in our Nation's capital Washington D.C. As he said in his speech
"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 at a table of brotherhood.
I have a dream
that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering
with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into
an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four 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."
This great man only wanted equality and that's all that
he ever wanted.
