I have a dream

Check out this link (HERE). Its a speech by Martin Luther King entitled "I have a dream".

I read about his autobiography quite recently and was very much overwhelmed by it.

Just a week ago, again I came across his most famous speech "I Have A Dream" and could not help but thinking, racism still happening around the world even now, here?

When I read the full text of the speech, I was totally awed. It was the most moving speech I have ever heard/read.

When other people were thinking about revolting to gain a better stand socially, he was different and it was evident in his speech.It contained only love and encouragement to keep hoping for a better future without resorting to violence. How wonderful!.

Just to share his wonderful speech, I posted it here.

A little excerpt from the link above"

" 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 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 Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

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."


Liked it a lot.
