I Have a Dream

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.
