"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 my four 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... And if America is to be a great nation this must become true." —Martin Luther King, Jr

Thanks for posting this 40.

The speeches I heard yesterday from Hillary and Gore, given at MLK events, were so divisive and full of jabs at Bush, Alito, Conservatives in Congress, etc. that a look back at MLK's words (on the holiday) was a nice touch.
