Proclamation
Martin Luther
King, Jr.: I look forward confidently to the day when all who
work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness
as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will
be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream
-- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity,
of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land
where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries
to the few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the
color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a
dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not
for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest
of humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect
the dignity and worth of the human personality.
