MLK's "I Have A Dream" Speech First Given In Detroit on 6/23/63

[Motown_Johnny]

As the dedication of his memorial draws near, I ask only that we remember what happened as it happened and not listen to the misstatements of MSM pundits.

I have a dream this afternoon that one day right here in Detroit, Negroes will be able to buy a house or rent a house anywhere that their money will carry them and they will be able to get a job. (That’s right)

Yes, I have a dream this afternoon that one day in this land the words of Amos will become real and "justice will roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."

I have a dream this evening that one day we will recognize the words of Jefferson that "all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." I have a dream this afternoon.

I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and "every valley shall be exalted, and every hill shall be made low; the crooked places shall be made straight, and the rough places plain; and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together."






The 4 paragraph rule prevents me from posting more of this speech. I would like to point out that now, right here in Detroit, persons of color can buy a house or rent a house anywhere that their money will carry them (as far as I can tell).
