0:00:00.000,0:00:03.004
[audience applause]

0:00:03.004,0:00:07.289
So even though we face the difficulties

0:00:07.299,0:00:09.739
of today and tomorrow,

0:00:09.739,0:00:12.199
I still have a dream.

0:00:13.659,0:00:15.369
It is a dream deeply rooted

0:00:15.369,0:00:17.409
in the American Dream.

0:00:18.509,0:00:22.334
I have a dream that one day

0:00:23.304,0:00:26.479
this nation will rise up

0:00:27.129,0:00:30.569
and live out the true[br]meaning of its creed.

0:00:30.569,0:00:33.870
We hold these truths to be self-evident,

0:00:33.870,0:00:37.470
that all men are created equal.

0:00:37.470,0:00:45.000
[audience cheering and applause]

0:00:45.379,0:00:47.369
I have a dream

0:00:48.199,0:00:51.649
that one day on the red hills of Georgia

0:00:52.379,0:00:54.669
the sons of former slaves and

0:00:54.669,0:00:57.659
the sons of former slave owners,

0:00:57.659,0:01:00.029
will be able to sit down together

0:01:00.029,0:01:02.269
at the table of brotherhood.

0:01:02.269,0:01:04.299
I have a dream

0:01:04.299,0:01:06.619
that one day

0:01:07.139,0:01:08.999
even the state of Mississippi,

0:01:08.999,0:01:12.949
a state sweltering with the heat of

0:01:13.369,0:01:15.659
injustice,

0:01:16.064,0:01:19.024
sweltering with the heat of oppression,

0:01:19.024,0:01:21.581
will be transformed into an oasis

0:01:21.581,0:01:23.311
of freedom and justice.

0:01:23.311,0:01:25.761
I have a dream

0:01:27.421,0:01:30.721
that my four little children

0:01:31.191,0:01:32.928
will one day live in a nation

0:01:32.928,0:01:34.681
where they will not be judged by

0:01:34.681,0:01:36.173
the color of their skin,

0:01:36.173,0:01:38.303
but by the content of their character.

0:01:38.303,0:01:41.077
I have a dream today.

0:01:41.077,0:01:43.647
[applause]

0:01:48.757,0:01:51.867
I have a dream that one day

0:01:52.897,0:01:59.027
down in Alabama with its vicious racists,

0:01:59.027,0:02:02.587
with its governor having his lips dripping

0:02:02.587,0:02:05.827
with the words of interposition[br]and nullification.

0:02:05.827,0:02:07.957
One day right down in Alabama

0:02:07.957,0:02:10.777
little black boys and black girls will be

0:02:10.777,0:02:13.087
able to join hands with little white boys

0:02:13.087,0:02:15.347
and white girls as sisters and brothers.

0:02:15.347,0:02:18.277
I have a dream today.

0:02:18.277,0:02:20.397
[cheering and applause]

0:02:24.267,0:02:27.467
I have dream that one day every valley

0:02:27.467,0:02:29.957
shall be exalted and every hill

0:02:29.957,0:02:31.640
and mountain shall be made low,

0:02:31.640,0:02:33.730
the rough places will be made plain,

0:02:33.730,0:02:35.280
and the crooked places

0:02:35.280,0:02:36.590
will be made straight;

0:02:36.590,0:02:38.510
and the glory of the Lord shall be

0:02:38.510,0:02:41.290
revealed and all flesh[br]shall see it together.

0:02:41.730,0:02:44.740
This is our hope, and this is the faith

0:02:44.740,0:02:47.310
that I go back to the South with.

0:02:47.590,0:02:50.935
With this faith, we will be able to hew

0:02:50.935,0:02:53.037
out of the mountain of despair

0:02:53.037,0:02:55.000
a stone of hope.

0:02:55.300,0:02:58.139
With this faith, we will be able to

0:02:58.139,0:03:00.599
transform the jangling discords of our

0:03:00.599,0:03:02.949
nation into a beautiful symphony

0:03:02.949,0:03:04.539
of brotherhood.

0:03:04.539,0:03:06.949
With this faith, we will be able

0:03:06.949,0:03:08.849
to work together, to pray together,

0:03:08.849,0:03:10.579
to struggle together,

0:03:10.579,0:03:12.170
to go to jail together,

0:03:12.170,0:03:14.110
to stand up for freedom together,

0:03:14.110,0:03:17.830
knowing that we will be free one day.

0:03:18.830,0:03:21.169
And this will be the day.

0:03:22.219,0:03:25.229
This will be the day when[br]all of God's children

0:03:25.709,0:03:28.299
will be able to sing, with new meaning,

0:03:28.299,0:03:30.480
'My country 'tis of thee,

0:03:30.830,0:03:32.680
sweet land of liberty,

0:03:32.680,0:03:34.310
of thee I sing.

0:03:34.570,0:03:36.459
Land where my fathers died,

0:03:36.459,0:03:38.769
land of the Pilgrim's pride,

0:03:39.049,0:03:40.964
from every mountainside,

0:03:40.964,0:03:42.879
let freedom ring!'

0:03:42.879,0:03:45.519
And if America is to be a great nation,

0:03:45.519,0:03:47.639
this must become true.

0:03:47.829,0:03:50.430
And so let freedom ring from the

0:03:50.430,0:03:53.030
prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.

0:03:53.030,0:03:55.060
Let freedom ring

0:03:55.060,0:03:57.850
from the mighty mountains of New York.

0:03:58.320,0:04:00.130
Let freedom ring from the heightening

0:04:00.130,0:04:02.520
Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.

0:04:02.520,0:04:04.024
Let freedom ring from the

0:04:04.024,0:04:06.874
snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.

0:04:07.019,0:04:08.779
Let freedom ring from the

0:04:08.779,0:04:11.259
curvaceous slopes of California.

0:04:11.349,0:04:13.049
But not only that.

0:04:13.049,0:04:14.750
Let freedom ring

0:04:14.750,0:04:17.720
from Stone Mountain of Georgia.

0:04:18.120,0:04:19.800
Let freedom ring from

0:04:19.800,0:04:22.520
Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.

0:04:23.040,0:04:25.330
Let freedom ring from every hill

0:04:25.330,0:04:27.870
and molehill of Mississippi.

0:04:28.070,0:04:31.700
From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

0:04:31.700,0:04:33.900
And when this happens,

0:04:36.060,0:04:38.610
and when we allow freedom ring,

0:04:39.240,0:04:41.230
when we let it ring from every

0:04:41.230,0:04:42.830
village and every hamlet,

0:04:42.830,0:04:45.809
from every state and every city,

0:04:46.389,0:04:49.169
we will be able to speed up that day

0:04:49.169,0:04:51.320
when all of God's children,

0:04:51.320,0:04:53.310
black men and white men,

0:04:53.310,0:04:54.740
Jews and Gentiles,

0:04:54.740,0:04:56.390
Protestants and Catholics,

0:04:56.390,0:04:58.460
will be able to join hands

0:04:58.460,0:04:59.980
and sing in the words

0:04:59.980,0:05:01.950
of the old Negro spiritual,

0:05:01.950,0:05:04.294
Free at last! Free at last!

0:05:04.294,0:05:07.144
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!

0:05:07.144,0:05:11.148
