00:00So even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.
00:13It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
00:18I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its
00:29creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created each other.
00:38I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the
00:48sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
00:55I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the
01:05heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis
01:14of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in
01:25a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of
01:30their character. I have a dream today.
01:33When we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from
01:42every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children,
01:51black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join
01:57hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, free at last, free at last. Thank God
02:05Almighty, we are free at last.
