A dream 1

If he had lived, Martin Luther King, Jr. would have been 92 years old last Monday. His "I have a dream" speech has never stopped resonating with Americans, though delivered back in 1963. 


The timeless core of his 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." 

"Discord will be turned into brotherhood . . "All God's children will be able to sing with new meaning 'My Country Tis of Thee' . .  Let freedom ring from every mountain side."

His imagery is American and Christian. 

(cont'd tomorrow)
