I feel discriminated against, but it does not
make me angry. It merely astonishes me. How can

It's beyond me. "

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
one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of
former slaves and the sons of former slaveowners
will be able to sit down together at a table of
brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even
the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering
with the heat of injustice and oppression, will
be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four 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.
--
Martin Luther
