We have a dream

Now we all have a dream

A group of singing protesters staggered through the streets of D.C. before the speech of a lifetime was delivered. Rev. Martin Luther King exerted a speech that discussed the topic of racial equality.

“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."

His dream was shared with hundreds around the Washington Monument. As he read his speech, his voice was powerful. As the speech became more filled with metaphors and concrete examples, King seized his eyes from glancing at the text in front of him, for the passion in his thoughts overcame him.

King’s energy was contagious.

The crowd listening to each word with ease was clapping throughout the speech and screaming in agreement. “Let us not wallow in the valley of despair… I dream of the day that we are not judged by skin color but by the content of their character,” said King. His uplifting optimistic speech filled the audience with hope and determination to seek for an end.

King made his speech touch each individual throughout the audience. He spoke of different states and of white and black men. He touched upon different religions and there boundaries they face as well.

To realize this dream King said, “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.”
