'I Have A Dream'
Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we now stand, singed the Emancipation Proclamation (which freed the slaves). It was a joyous daybreak to end a long night of captivity… But 100 years later, we must face the tragic fact that the ***** (African American, Black)…find himself an exile in his own land…
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 sit down together at the Table of Brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state sweltering in the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that one day my four little children will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but on the content of the character

I have a dream today…

This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountain side, let freedom ring."

And if America is to be a great nation this must come true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.

Let freedom ring from the snow capped Rockies of Colorado.

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California.

But not only that--let freedom ring from Stone Mountain in Georgia.

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.

Let freedom ring from every mountain and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

And when we let freedom ring…we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hand and sing in the words of the old ***** spiritual,

Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!!

Its Martin Luther King, not King Martin Luther. King was his last name not his title. Do a web search under Martin Luther King and you will find anything you want to know about him, includind a copy of his speech.
