King hopes for a brighter future for his childrenI 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.

King hopes that one day racism will one day be brushed from the face of the earth. “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.”

Dr. King hopes Jesus’ true teaching will help people to treat others equally.“I have a dream that one day

every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made

low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all

flesh shall see it together.”
