00:00I'm not satisfied until every American enjoys his full constitutional rights.
00:05If a Negro baby is born, and this is true also of Puerto Ricans and Mexicans in some
00:10of our cities, he has about one-half as much chance to get through high school as a white
00:15baby.
00:16He has one-third as much chance to get through college as a white student.
00:21He has about a third as much chance to be a professional man, about half as much chance
00:26to own a house.
00:27He has about four times as much chance that he'll be out of work in his life as the white
00:32baby.
00:33I think we can do better.
00:34I don't want the talents of any American to go to waste.
