TEXT III – I have a dream!
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was born in 1929. He was a black American cleric who led the civil rights movement in favor of the black in the 1950’s and 1960’s. He won the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, four years before his assassination in Memphis, TN.
In one of his famous speeches, Luther King said: “I say to you today, even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. I have a dream that my four children one day will live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” His dream was that of a country where men would be truly equal.
