Selected exerpts: I Have a Dream Speech

I Have a Dream Speech - Full text, audio & video of Martin Luther King Jr's most famous speech, I Have a Dream / Address at March on Washington: "In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force."

Freedom and Justice:
And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

The word freedom is used 20 time.

Justice 11 times.


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.
