=//**__"I Have A Dream..." 1963__**//= By: Holly, Char, and Cassie

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. All in all this part of the "I Have a Dream" speech affected many people in different ways. Most importantly it ended racial descrimination. Begining with the children is a good start because it teaches them to treat everyone equally and not worrying about the color of their skin.

In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." This part of the "I Have a Dream" speech goes into depth about the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence and how it states that all men, black and white, are granted the same rights.

Even though today some people still judge people on the color of there skin, Martin Luther King showed people it didn't matter if your black, white, or any kind of race, we all share equal rights. He moved us with his powerful words and with those words showed us how all people are created equal and that there are no differences between races. Martin Luther King said that he had a dream that one day people will not be judge by the color of there skin, today his dream has come true and lives on.

"we hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal."

"Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent."
