Black Americans can do a lot of things that their parents could not do years ago because of racism. They can vote;
they can eat in any restaurant they like; and their children can go to the same schools as white children. As we prepare
ouselves to celebrate Martin Luther King Day next Monday. We’ll reproduce a part of King’s address I have a Dream in
memory of this great leader who was able to combat racism and hatred with non-violence and love.”
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former owners will be
able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation
where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but the content of of their character. I have a dream today. I have
a dream that one day little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and
walk together as sisters and brothers.
And we let freedom ring, when we let it from every village, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed
up that day when all God’s children, black men and white men will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old
Negro spiritual, “ Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last’’
