I have a dream Martin Luther King

"I HAVE A DREAM"
By: Martin Luther King


In English:
We have come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a benefit to every American person. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would get the rights of life, liberty, and thesearch of happiness. It is obvious today (1963) that America has not given this benefit until now to her colour citizens. Instead of putting into practice this obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come backmarked "insufficient funds." But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great places of opportunity of this nation. So we have come to cash this check — a check that will give us the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this spot to remind America of the big urgency of now.
Now isthe time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to make justice a reality for everybody.
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 the true meaning of its creed: "We have these truths: thatall 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 with the heat of injustice, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
I have a dream that my fourlittle children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour 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, 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.
This is our hope. This is the faiththat I go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to work together, to struggle together, to go to prison together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day.
This will be the day when all the children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from everywhere, let freedom ring. " IfAmerica is to be a great nation this must become true”. So let freedom ring.


En español:
Estoy orgulloso de reunirme con ustedes hoy, en la que será ante la historia la mayor manifestación por la libertad en la historia de nuestro país.
Hace cien años, un gran estadounidense, cuya simbólica sombra nos cobija hoy, firmó la Proclama de la emancipación. Este trascendental decreto significó comoun gran rayo de luz y de esperanza para millones de esclavos negros, chamuscados en las llamas de una marchita injusticia. Llegó como un precioso amanecer al final de una larga noche de cautiverio. Pero, cien años después, el negro aún no es libre; cien años después, la vida del negro es aún tristemente lacerada por las esposas de la segregación y las cadenas de la discriminación; cien añosdespués, el negro vive en una isla solitaria en medio de un inmenso océano de prosperidad material; cien años después, el negro todavía languidece en las esquinas de la sociedad estadounidense y se encuentra desterrado en su propia tierra.
Por eso, hoy hemos venido aquí a dramatizar una condición vergonzosa. En cierto sentido, hemos venido a la capital de nuestro país, a cobrar un cheque. Cuando los...
