I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia,

the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners

will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi,

 a state sweltering with the heat of injustice,

 sweltering with the heat of oppression,

 will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream

that my four little children will one day live in a nation

 where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin

but by the content of their character.
