Remembering ‘The Dream’

“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.”

Today marks the 47th anniversary of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s famous “I Have a Dream Speech” and the March on Washington.  In the speech he set out a vision for an America that looked beyond its racial and religious boundaries and came together recognizing the fundamental equality promised to all. While addressing the divisions and inequality prevalent in segregated America, his message inspires and motivates all of us today.  We at SALDEF work every day to make sure that the promise of equality and justice extends to all. We hope you draw as much inspiration from his speech as we do.
