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.”… I have a dream that
my four little children will 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.
“I Have a Dream,”
speech at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington, D.C., August
28, 1963
