50.On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King delivered his
famous LINCOLN MEMORIAL ADDRESS from which these
paragraphs are taken:
I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the
difficulties and frustration 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 the table of
brotherhood…
