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 slaveowners 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.

Great post. We must do all we can to keep the legacy of this American hero alive. I’m trying to do just that with this original song of mine:
It Only Hurts When I Cry

Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream and message are as relevant today, as they were in days of yore. Here’s a song that I’m hoping will help people remember the man, his message and his dream on the day we celebrate in his honor, and beyond:
