"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be
judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character... And if America is to be a

"... I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I
still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. 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 the 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 little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by
the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.
