#IHAVEADREAMTOO
March on Washington.. August 28, 1963
“…I say to you today, my friends, 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 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.
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 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 able 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, 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.”
Six scores ago, Martin Luther King Jr. shook the world with his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln memorial, and today, six scores later, at home, I leave my mark. I Have a Dream Too.
“I have a dream that someday, every person in the world learns that each one of us is silently fighting a battle we all don’t know about. Whether it may be a breakup, disease, sickness, loss of a loved one, each one of us is silently fighting a lifelong war.
I have a dream that tomorrow is the new today, that the past is just a small fraction of time itself, that to be present, you must live in the moment.
I have a dream that every child will grow up to be successful version of themselves, to be the first them, not the next Michael Jordan, not the next Whitney Houston, not the next Bill Gates.
I too, have a dream, like everyone else. I’m a dreamer, who do you want to be?“
