- I am happy to join you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation...

Two hundred thousand people are standing around the steps of Lincoln Memorial and listen a speech of doctor Martin Luther King, the great a fighter for rights and against discrimination of African American people. Martin Luther King look a gathered people and continued his speech.

-Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of captivity...

Thousand of black people are carefully listen their leader. They agree with him because they know how much their lives has been difficult and sad. For centuries they has been slaves for rich white people and suffered violence, insults, humiliation and orders from their masters. Why? Because they are a black, they are different. As they treated the Native Americans, so they than and now treat a black people in the same way. Some black leaders want to stop this discrimination and fight for rights and better life of their nation. Because of that, people gathered and decided to calmly point out what bothers them, to say all their wishes and dreams.

-I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: " We hold these truths to be self-evident; that all men are created equal"

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.
