...We are simply seeking to bring into full realization the American Dream - a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; A dream of a land where men no longer argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; The dream of a land where every man will respect the dignity and worth of human personality - this is the dream. When it is realized, the jangling discords of our nation will be transformed into a beautiful symphony of Brotherhood, and men everywhere will know that America is truly the land of the free and the home of the brave.
