O sonho lingers on

" 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-evidence, that all man 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 Mississipi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, wil be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream, that my four little children wil one day live in a nation where they will not be judge by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today.
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".
...
"And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, 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, wll 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!"

"I have a dream", address delivered at the March on Washington for jobs and freedom".
