I HAVE A DREAM

delivered by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., on August 28, 1963

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous

decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as

a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

.

But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the

manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the

midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of America society and

finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we’ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

..

In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent

words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promise that all men, yes, black

men as we as white men, would be guaranteed the “unalienable Rights” of “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

...

It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned.

Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked

“insufficient funds.”

....

But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the

great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we’ve come to cash this check, and

check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

.....

We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage

in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of

democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice.

Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to

make justice a reality for all of God’s children.

.

It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro’s legitimate

discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. 1963 is not an end, but a beginning.

And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the

nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his

citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

..

There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, “When will you be satisfied?” We can never be satisfied as long

as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our

bodies, heavy with the fatique of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and hotels of the cities. We cannot

be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to

vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until “justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty

stream.”

...

Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends. And so 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 it 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 the 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 one day 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!

......

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with

the words of “interposition” and nullification” –one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be

about to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

........

I have a dream today!

.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and 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.”

..

This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain

of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a

beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail

together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
