I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still have a dream. 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 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 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.


This famous speech 'I have a dream' shows that the black people want to be free from racism. This special part of the speech is the part of 'I have a dream' which shows that the goal of this speech is to stop racism and be treated equally. At this time of america, racism was heating up. More people were fighting for racism and to racism. There were a lot of black people participating the act to stop racism, but lack of white people participated to stop racism. Despite of being refused by white people, it was declared to stop racism in 1960s.
