Martin Luther King Jr's "I have a dream speech" at Lincoln Memorial




I have a dream that on day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of it's creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that on 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 a table of brotherhood.
I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a desert state, sweltering with the heat of injustice and oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my four 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 the state of Alabama, whose governor's lips are presently dripping the words of of interposition and nulllifacation, will be transformed into a situation where little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls and walk together 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.

From the "I Have A Dream Speech"

I don't know whether this blog is still running, but if you are interested in daily black history events, etc check out:

http://www.dayinblackhistory.com

I have to say, the site is an example of "form and function." It's one of the few black history sites that have a social twist to it. Members can "adopt" existing historical articles, post new ones, vote on them, comment on them, vote in polls--and I believe they'll soon have a forum.

I think there's a year-end reward for the most active users, but they seem to keep the prize secret.
