UFRGS FIS LIT ENG 2014

[1] 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.

[5] In the process ........ gaining our rightful

place we must not be guilty of wrongful

deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for

freedom ........ drinking from the cup of

bitterness and hatred. We must forever

[10] conduct our struggle on the high plane of

dignity and discipline. We must not allow our

creative protest to degenerate into physical

violence. The marvelous new militancy which

has engulfed the Negro community must not

[15] lead us to distrust of all white people, for

many of our white brothers, as evidenced by

their presence here today, have come to

realize that their destiny is tied up with our

destiny and their freedom is inextricably

[20] bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone.

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 selfevident:

that all men are created equal." I

[25] 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.

This is our hope. This is the faith that I go

[30] back to the South with. When we allow

freedom to ring, when we let it ring from

every state and every city, we will speed up that

day when all of God's children, black men and

white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and

[35] Catholics, will join hands and sing the old Negro

spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God

Almighty, we are free at last!"
