  • \\ I have a dream \\

  • \\ We hold these truths to be self-evident: \\

  • that all men are created equal.\\ [clapping]\\

  • \\ 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, \\

  • \\ be transformed into an oasis of freedom and

  • justice.\\ I have a dream \\

  • \\ that my four little children \\

  • \\ 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.\\ [clapping]\\

  • \\ 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.\\ I have a dream today.\\

  • [clapping]\\ \\

  • I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, \\

  • \\ 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.\\

  • \\ This is our hope. 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 together, \\

  • to pray together, \\ to struggle together, \\

  • to go to jail together, \\ to stand up for freedom together, \\

  • knowing that we will be free one day.\\ \\

  • This will be the day \\ \\

  • This will be the day when all of God's children \\

  • \\ will be able to sing with a new meaning, \\

  • My country, 'tis \\ sweet land of liberty, 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 ring. And when this happens, \\ \\

  • when we allow freedom to 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!\\
