The nation today is pausing to remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a pastor, activist, humanitarian, Nobel Peace Prize recipient, and leader in the Civil Rights movement. (Read more about King here.)
It’s a great day to revisit Dr. King’s famous “I Have a Dream” speech, which was delivered from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. on August 28, 1963. The public address calling for racial equality and an end to discrimination was widely hailed as a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement.

callitasitis says
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.
My paraphrased as I understand it. All people should be judged by the content of their “character” & not by their skin color.
A Noble concept & truth from DR King’s Speech, I have a dream.
