"
I
have
a
that
one
day
this
nation
will
rise
up
and
live
out
the
true
meaning
of
its
creed
:
"
We
hold
these
to
be
self
-
evident
:
that
all
men
are
created
.
I
have
a
dream
that
one
day
on
the
red
hills
of
Georgia
the
sons
of
former
and
the
sons
of
former
slave
owners
will
be
able
to
sit
down
at
the
table
of
brotherhood
.
I
have
a
dream
that
one
day
even
the
state
of
Mississippi
,
a
state
sweltering
with
the
heat
of
,
sweltering
with
the
heat
of
oppression
,
will
be
transformed
into
an
oasis
of
and
.
I
have
a
dream
that
my
four
little
children
will
one
day
live
in
a
nation
where
they
will
not
be
judged
by
the
of
their
skin
but
by
the
content
of
their
.
I
have
a
dream
today
.
I
have
a
dream
that
one
day
,
down
in
Alabama
,
with
its
vicious
,
with
its
governor
having
his
lips
dripping
with
the
words
of
interposition
and
nullification
;
one
day
right
there
in
Alabama
,
little
black
boys
and
black
girls
will
be
able
to
join
with
little
white
boys
and
white
girls
as
sisters
and
brothers
.
I
have
a
dream
today
.
I
have
a
dream
that
one
day
every
valley
shall
be
exalted
,
every
hill
and
mountain
shall
be
made
,
the
rough
places
will
be
made
plain
,
and
the
crooked
places
will
be
made
,
and
the
glory
of
the
Lord
shall
be
revealed
,
and
all
flesh
shall
see
it
together
.
This
is
our
.
This
is
the
faith
that
I
go
back
to
the
South
with
.
With
this
faith
we
will
be
able
to
hew
out
of
the
mountain
of
despair
a
stone
of
hope
.
With
this
faith
we
will
be
able
to
transform
the
jangling
discords
of
our
nation
into
a
beautiful
symphony
of
brotherhood
.
With
this
faith
we
will
be
able
to
work
,
to
pray
together
,
to
struggle
together
,
to
go
to
jail
together
,
to
stand
up
for
freedom
together
,
knowing
that
we
will
be
one
day
.
This
will
be
the
day
when
all
of
God
?
s
children
will
be
able
to
sing
with
a
new
meaning
,
"
My
country
,
?
tis
of
thee
,
sweet
land
of
,
of
thee
I
sing
.
Land
where
my
fathers
died
,
land
of
the
pilgrim
?
s
pride
,
from
every
mountainside
,
let
freedom
ring
.
"
And
if
America
is
to
be
a
great
nation
this
must
become
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
snowcapped
Rockies
of
Colorado
!
Let
freedom
ring
from
the
curvaceous
slopes
of
California
!
But
not
only
that
;
let
freedom
ring
from
Stone
Mountain
of
Georgia
!
Let
freedom
ring
from
Lookout
Mountain
of
Tennessee
!
Let
freedom
ring
from
every
hill
and
molehill
of
Mississippi
.
From
every
mountainside
,
let
freedom
.
And
when
this
happens
,
when
we
allow
freedom
to
ring
,
when
we
let
it
ring
from
every
village
and
every
hamlet
,
from
every
and
every
,
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
hands
and
sing
in
the
words
of
the
old
Negro
,
"
Free
at
last
!
free
at
last
!
thank
Almighty
,
we
are
free
at
last
!
