“I Have A Dream” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

MLK Jr. delivered the speech “I Have a Dream” on August 28, 1963, March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, advocating for civil and economic rights and an end to racial discrimination. At the height of the civil rights movement, King’s speech to more than 250,000 supporters in Washington, D.C., at the Lincoln Memorial was a pivotal moment and one of the most famous in American history.

Sometimes we just need to hear these words repeatedly… reminders of what our nation can become if we allow Love to be the guide …

“I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. …. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we 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, will 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.”
