I have a dream

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, that 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 God shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.

This is our hope. This is the faith that I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be
able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to
transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. 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…

When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from
every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children,
black and white, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and
sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty,
we are free at last!”


“I Have a Dream” by Martin Luther King, Jr.
