A great dream
I found this again today – a transcript and mp3 audio file of what is, in my opinion, one of the finest speeches ever made. And every word is as true now as it was true then, which is cause for both joy and sorrow.
When this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:
Free at last! free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
pax et bonum
