“I say to you today, my friends, 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 this nation will rise up... live out the true meaning of its creed. We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal.”

“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.”

One of the most important, in my opinion, follows:

It is a significant inaugural date (there are others) in that it reveals the content of a man’s character was judged, by the majority in the USA, through a lens that did not include a long held bias.
