Martin Luther King Jr.'s classic speech,"I Have a Dream," read as follows: I Have a Dream I have a dream, a dream that needs countless people to realize. I dreamed that everyone could find their place in this world and realize their dreams. I dreamt that everyone could receive equal education and equal opportunities without discrimination and ostracization because of race, color, religion, gender or social status. I have a dream, a dream that needs global unity to come true. I dreamt that we were no longer opposites but could work together for a better tomorrow. I dreamt that we no longer need to solve problems through war and violence, but through peace and dialogue to achieve harmony. I have a dream, a dream that can only be realized if everyone can work hard and sweat for it. I dreamed that everyone could make a positive impact on the world through their own efforts and creativity, making it a better place. Now I have a dream. This dream needed more people to join and work hard to finally realize. Let us unite and strive for this dream so that our children and grandchildren can have a more just, equal, and better world. Let's work hard together, for I have a dream. The original text was from Shelley's Collection of Fictions, published in December 1936.
