1x1x2 Famous Speeches
1x1x2x1 Topic: I have a dream.
1x1x2x1x1 I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.
1x1x2x1x2 Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as agreat 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.
1x1x2x1x3 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 languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.1x1x2x1x4 In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes,black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of " Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
1x1x2x1x5 It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
1x1x2x1x6 But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.1x1x2x1x7 We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of  the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off  or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.
1x1x2x1x8 It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorationg autumn of freedom and equality. 1963 is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow of steam and will now be  content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
1x1x2x1x9 There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be  satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississpii cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No,no,we are not satified, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."

1x1x2x1x10 Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends. And so even though we face the difficulties of today and  tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
1x1x2x1x10x1 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.
1x1x2x1x10x2 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.
1x1x2x1x10x3 I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississipii, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be trnsformed into as oasis of freedom and  justice.
1x1x2x1x10x4 I have a dream that my four little childen will one day live in a nation where they will no be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
1x1x2x1x10x5 I have a dream today!
1x1x2x1x10x6 I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, 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 hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
1x1x2x1x10x7 I have a dream today!
1x1x2x1x10x8 I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; " and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."
1x1x2x1x11 This is our hope, and this is faith that I go back to the South with. With thsi 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 thsi faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be freee one day.
