I have a dream that one day little black boys and girls will be holding hands with little white boys and girls.

Three hundred years of humiliation, abuse and deprivation cannot be expected to find voice in a whisper.

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.

Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and that in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty.

Lukewarm acceptance is more bewildering than outright rejection.
