"I HAVE A DREAM ..."
(Copyright 1963, MARTIN LtrTHER KING, JR.)
Speooh by the Rev. MARTIN LuTHER KING
At the "March on vYashington"
I am happy to join with you today in what will go down
in history as the greates•t demonstration for freedom in
the history of our nation.
Five ~core years ago a great American in whose sym-
holic shado·w we stand today signed the Emancipation
Proclamation. This momen:tous cleeree is a great beacon
light of hope to millions of Negro slave·s who had been
~e.arrd in the flames o[ withering injushcc. It came as a
joyous daybre,ak to end the long night of their captivity.
But 100 years late<r the Negro still is no•t fre·e. One hun
dred years later the 1i.fe of the Negro is still badly
erippled by the manacles of s-t•grPg-ation and the chains of
discriminatio11. One hnndred years later the Ne,gro live·s
on a lone,Jy i:"]and of poverty in the mids1t of a va1S1t ooean
8. of matE>.rial prospc·rity. Out> hundred years later the
~egro is still larugui~hed iu the comer~s o.f Ame·rican
~oci. ety and find;:; himself in exile in his own land. So
wo '''<' come hf'rP torlay to r1r.amatize a s,hameful condition.
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash
a eheck. Whrn the a. reb it ects of our Re:publie wrote the
magnificent. wonls of the Constitution a.nd the Declaration
o1 Independence, they we·re signing· a promiss'Cl<ry note to
which eve·ry American wa:" to fall heir. 'I'his no,te was a
promise that all nwn-yc::;, bla,ek men as we11 as white
rmm-wonld he g1mnmtPt'd the unalienable rights of life,
liherty a]l(l the pnrsni1 of ha.ppine'Ss. It is obvious today
tha.t Amcri(·a lms <lcfaulted on this promissory note inso-
far as hP>r citi7.ens of co.Jo,r arr concP:rned. Instead of
2
honoring ih1s sacn'd ohli,gation, America ha.s given the
Nngro p0ople a bad check, a check which has come back
marked ''insufficient fn nds.''
But we refus.e to helieve that the bank of justice is
bankrupt. We rp.fnse to belie·~~ t.ha.t there are insufficient
fuwls in the grea.t vaults of opportunity orf this nation.
So we've come to cash this check, a check that will give
ns upon oemand the rirhes of freedom and the s·ecurity of
justice.
Ve haYe a.bo come to this hallowed spot to remind
Ame.rica of the fipJ·ce urgency of now. 'l'hi:-; is no time to
l'llgagc in the luxury of cooling off or to t.ake the tran-
quilizing dmg of graduali::;m. Now is the time to make
9. real the promi~r·s of democracy. Now is the time to rise
from the dark nnll clrsolate valley of segregation to the
,.unlit path of racial justi<·P. Now is the time to li.ft our
uation from the quicksands of raeial injustice to the solid
r()ek of brotherhood.
Xow is t.he time to mak0 justice a reality for all of
God's children. It would be fatal for the nation to over-
look the urgency of the moment. This swelt.ering summer
of the ieg:ro's legitimate disconte.nt. will not pass until
there is .an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality
-1963 is not an (md but a beginning. Tho>se who hope
that tl1e X egro needed to hlow off steam and will now be
l'Olltent will ha·e a ruoP awakening if the na:tion return1'1
to bu,;ine~;.; as usua.I.
'l'here will be 11eitht'T rest nor tranquility in Ame.rica
until the Negro i~ granted his citizenship rights. The
whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the founda-
tions of onr nation until the bright days of justice emerge.

And that is something that I mus.t say to my pBople who
~tand o.n the worn threshold whieh leads into the palace
of justice. In the proce ss of gaining our rightful place
we must not he guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not
"eek to sati:sfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from
the cup of biMe·n:le·s,s a.nd hatred.
10. Ve must forever conduct our s.truggle on the high plane
of dignity and diseiplin e. Ye must not allow our crea-
tive protests to degen e·rate into physical violence. Again
and again we mus t ri se to the maje,stic heights of meding
physical fo.rce wi.th soul for-ce. rl'he marvelous new mili-
tancy whi-ch has cn.gulfE>d the Negro community must not
lead us to distrust all white people, for many o[ our white
hrotlwrs, as evidcncc•J by the·ir prese.nce here today, have
eome to realize tha.t th eir destiny is tied up with our
de~tiny.
They have come to re.alize that their freedom is in-
extt·ieably hound t.o o~1r fre.room. 'e cannot walk alone.
And as we walk we must make the pledge t~hat we shall
always march ahcarl We cannot turn hack. There are
those who are .asking the rlevotee·s of civil rights, "When
will you be sa.t.isfied 1'' Ve can never be satisfied as l<mg
ns the Negro i~ the victim of the unspeakable horrors of
police brutality.
! e c.an never be satisfied as long as our bodie,s, heavy
with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the
motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities.
Ve cannot be satisfied as long as the Negro's basic
mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a Larger one. We
<·an never be satis:fie<l as long as our children are stripped
of their adulthood and robbed of their dignity by s1gns
~tating ''For 'TJ1ites Only."
( Copyright 1963. ::fAR TI!' L UTHF.R KING, JR.)

11. We oannot be satisfied 3lS long as the Negro in Mis-
sissippi cannot vote and the Negro in New York believes
he has nothing for which to vote.
No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will nOit be satis-
fied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness
like a mig·hty stream.
I am not unmindful that some of you have come here
out of great trials and t.ribulation. Some of you have
eome fresh from narrow jail <!.ells. S ome of you have
oome from are-as where your quest for freedom left you
battered by the storm.s of persecution and staggered by
1hf' winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans
of erea ti ve s uffering.
Continue to work with the faith that un-earned suffering
is redemptive. Go hack to Mississippi, go back t.o Ala-
harna., go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go
hack to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghet.tos of our
.:' orthern citie·s, knowing that somehow this situation oan
and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley ot'
des.pai·r. ·
I say to you today, my friends, though, even though
we face the difficult~es of today and tomorrow, I still have
a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American
dl'e.am. I have a dream that one day this 11ation will rise
up, live ou t the h·ue meaning of its creed: ""' e hold the~e
truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Geo·rgia
son~ of former slan' s and t.lw :-;ons of form l:'r ~lave-owners
will be able to sit dovn together at the table of brothe r-
hood. I have a dream that one day even the state of
12. Jli~sissippi, a state swelte ring with the h eat of inJustice,
(Copyright 19o.l. MARTI;'1 LuTHER KING, JR.)
5
l'iweltering with the heat of oppression, will be trans-
!'ormed into an oasis of fre·edom and justice.
I have a dream that my four little chi1dre!Il will one day
live in a nation Vhere they will not be judged by the color
of their skin but by the conte·nt of the,ir cha.ra{!.te,r.l I have
a dream ... I have a dream tha,t one day in AJ,abama,
with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips
dripping with the words of interposition and nullification,
one day right tl~e-re in Alabama little black boys a.nd black
g.·ids will he abl e to join hands with lit.tle white boy's and
white girls as sisters anrl brothers.
I have a dre·am today ... I have a dream that one day
every vaUey shall be exalted, e·e-~·y hill and mountain
;.ohall be made lov.-. 'l'he rough places will be made plain,
aad the crooked IJlaces will be made straight. ,.And the
~lory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see
it together. This is onr hope . This is the faith that I
go back to thC' South with. With this faith we will be
ahh~ to hew out of the mountain of de·spair a stone of
hope. With this fait.h we ,,·ill he ahle to transform the
jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony
<;f brotherhood . With this faith we will be able to work
togother, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to
jail togethN, to stand up for freedom together, knowing
that we will he fn•e one d.ay.
13. This will IH' the clay when all of God's children will be
nble to sing with new meaning. "My country, 'tis of thee,
~weot land of libt>l't.y, of thee I ~ing. Land where my
fathers died, land of th<.' pilgrim ' s pride, from every
mountain side, let. fr eedom ring.'' And if America is to
he a. great nation , this mn ::..t become true. So let freedom
ring from tlH' prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire.
Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New
(Copyright 1963, MARTIN LunrER KING , JR.)

York. Let freooom ring from the heightening Alleghenies
of Pennsylvania. Let freedom ring from t.hB snowcapped
Rookies of Colorado. Let freedom ring from the curva-
eeous s.lopes of California.
But not only that. Let freedom ring from Stone Moun-
tain of Georgia. Let freedom ring from Lookout Moun-
tain of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from every hill and
molehill of M~ssissippi, from every mountain side. Let
freedom ring . . .
When we allow freedom to ring-when we let it ring
from every city and eYery hamlet, from every state and
every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all
(If God's children, black men and white men, Jews and
G(>.nt.iles, Prot.B.stants and Catholics, will be able to join
hands and sing in the word·s of the old Negro spiritual,
"FI'ee at last, Free at last, Great God a-mighty, "Ve are
free at la.st."

Applied Final Project Part 1
Parent-Supervised Alcohol Use
Dear Alex,
I am writing this letter to inform you on the issue of
parent-supervised alcohol use. My kid is currently 13-years-old.
Soon, he will go to high school. I think if he goes to any high
school parties, there might be alcohol use. If I have forbid him
from drinking, I think he would use those opportunities to
drink. If he over-drinks, he can get himself or others injured. If
15. he rides along with someone who is drunk, they might crash and
get themselves seriously injured.
Currently, many national governments have different age
minimums for drinking; while, some countries do not have a
minimum age. Regardless of the law, I think some kids would
drink and get themselves in trouble. I think the drinking age is
meaningless because sometimes when adults are the one
drinking, even they make poor choices. I think when kids are at
a certain developmental stage, they feel extra rebellious, and if
adults forbid them from drinking, they would want to drink even
more, just to defy authority.
I feel in today’s society and social media, it is difficult to
avoid drinking. Movies and TV shows show how awesome or
cool it is to drink. Their message is if you want to have fun, you
need to drink. I think responsible drinking or supervised
drinking can help kids understand what it means to drink. They
can learn the risks of drinking. By doing so, I hope they can
avoid making irreversible mistakes.
However, in the McMorris’ study, it suggests otherwise.
The study finds that adult-supervised alcohol use resulted in
higher levels of harmful alcohol consequences. (McMorris)
Alex, you came from Russia. I wonder what are thoughts
about this topic, and what were your parents’ policies regarding
to underage drinking or drinking in general.
