Hi pafalafa,
Thank you for being kind enough to share the spoils.
My favourite is the "I have a dream" speech by Martin Luther King Jr
in Washington DC after the completion of a civil rights march on
August 28, 1963.
"...Now, I say to you today my friends, even though we face the
difficulties of today and tomorrow, 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 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. I have a dream today..."
Thanks,
