Speaking to a crowd of 200,000 civil rights supporters on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. said he has a dream for America. He dreams of a country where the American promise of all men being created equal is upheld for all.
"I 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," he said.
Even 100 years after the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, King said the Negro is still not free, and "now is the time to make real the promise of democracy."
