I have a dream
15

• It is a dream deeply rooted in the American
  dream.
• 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 today.
• I have a dream that one day the state of Alabama,
  will be transformed into a situation where little
  black boys and black girls will be able to join
  hands with little white boys and white girls and
  walk together as sisters and brothers.
• I have a dream today.
