I Have a Dream

Perhaps it was Dr. King's most famous speech. It electrified the nation. His glowing, resounding poetic rhetoric soared over the crowd and into the hearts of young and old.

• "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 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 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."
