Sometimes Dreams Come True

   Tue, February 19, 2008 - 9:06 PM
I just watched the victory speech which Barak Obama made after his win in the Wisconsin primary. It took me back to these words; first spoken in 1963. They were prophetic and I believe that they prophesized this time in which we live. Read them and I am sure that you will recognize them, and perhaps feel the same sense of realization.


>>>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 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."

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 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.

I have a dream today!<<<


These are the times that The Dreamer could only dream of 45 years ago. They mean so much to all of us, regardless of our race or gender.
