Inspiration for today By The Reverend Martin Luther King jr.

in #quote6 years ago

I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.

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.

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.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

I have a dream today.

The Sad thing is we are still waiting for this Dream to come true And since March 1963 I feel we have moved further away and racism is bigger now than it was then. Mostly hidden behind closed doors. When will we all just rise up and say enough is enough. We are all brothers and sisters on a beautiful planet. Lets live together.
March on Washington, 1963

Hey @andyjem Martin Luther was a great leader who helped in changing several things way back in the olden days. I am actually moved by his sense of persevering spirit and the fact that he always kept pursuing his dreams till he achieved it. The world appreciates such herioc leaders among us.

Racism is a disease of the spirit, body, soul and mind.
Let King's thoughts be kept alive.
Let's keep having dreams.
All best, Piotr.
