100 years after Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, the negro is still not free. In a sense, we, the greatest demonstration for freedom, have come to cash a check for our unalienable rights. We can't luxuriate in gradualism, for this moment of racial justice is urgent. But as we are given this justice, we must not drink from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must walk together with the white men, and we cannot turn back. Do not wallow in despair, for I have a dream, rooted in the American Dream, that America will fulfill its promise, and that we will live as brothers and sisters in harmony. And when we let freedom ring from every village and from every mountainside, all people will sing "thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
