"My theory was that if we mounted a strong

nonviolent movement, the opposition would

surely do something to attract the media, and

in turn induce national sympathy and attention

to the everyday segregated circumstance of a

person living in the Deep South.“

“…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

state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with

the heat of 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 color of their

skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today…”

“…This will be the day, 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 father's died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, from every

mountainside, let freedom ring!"

Let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we

allow freedom ring -- when we let it ring from every village

and every hamlet, from every state and every city, 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 spiritual: "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God

Almighty, we are free at last!"
