"I have a dream. Where in the depths of my being, a dream that transcends the boundaries of time and echoes through the corridors of history. I envision of a nation where people will be not judged by their color of their skin, but the content of their character."

"I have a dream. Out of the mountain of despair, let us find that stone of hope. Together, we can overcome the whirlwinds of revolt that shake the foundations of our nation. Freedom is not given, but demanded by the opposed!"

"I have a dream. The day where our feet may be tired, but our souls will be rested. The journey is long, and finite disappointment may beset us, but let us never lose hope. The ultimate measure of a person is not in moments of comfort but in times of challenge and controversy. It is in these moments that our true character is revealed."

"I refuse to accept the view that we are tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and discrimination. The bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can and will become a reality. We are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."
