I Have A Dream- An Excerpt
by Martin Luther King
Delivered on the steps at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C., August 28, 1963
"But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads
into the palace of justice. 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.
We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow
our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic
heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the
Negro community must not lead us to distrust all of white people, for many of our white brothers, as
evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our
destiny and their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone..."
"...I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, I still
have a dream..."
