Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last.

And 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.

Until justice rolls down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.

No person has the right to rain on your dreams.

When we let freedom 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 men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of that old Negro spiritual, ''Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!''

The only weapon that we have in our hands this evening is the weapon of protest. That's all.
