I have a dream...................

[kestrel91316]

"............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.


Jimmy Carter, who knows a bit about sitting down 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!

"I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and 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." - Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

"...........the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight......."

Please God, from Martin's lips to your ears........

We are ever so much closer to that day because of Barack Obama's candidacy for the most powerful office in the land. Until the black community has their WELL-EARNED day in the sun, we cannot see those crooked places made straight..............America was made great, in large part, by the largely unrewarded labor of its black community.

I am nearly in tears today. I never thought I would see this in my lifetime.

Now on to Denver, and then Washington!!!!!
