(     ) I have a dream today!
(     ) I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its  creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
(     ) This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.
(     ) 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.

(     ) (...) And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream.  It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.
(     ) I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain  shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."
(      ) I have a 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.
