I HAVE A DREAM...

Martin Luther King, Jr: I Have A Dream

"Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition."

I think this speech is the most memorable speech EVER!

"I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream."

Martin Luther King Jr. was and will always be praised for his amazing uplifting speech he gave to America underneath Abraham Lincoln's memorial. Through his words, he not only inspired African American's to rise up and follow their dreams, but every race and ethnicity around the world. Looking back today, I think all American's can be greatful for the hope and change he inspired, for today we live in his dream.

THANKS, MLK!
