Annie Lane shares some quotes from Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous speech in today's Dear Annie column.
Annie Lane writes the Dear Annie advice column.Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! In honor of this great man, I have attached some of the best excerpts from his famous “I Have a Dream” speech. The words today still ring true -- that we should be drinking from the cup of truth, love and kindness, and not the cup of hatred and division.
“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. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.
“I have a dream today ... I have a dream that one day, every valley shall be exalted, 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.” “In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred.”
