Hope and Aspiration

      I have a Dream 

Five score Year ago , a great american, in whole symbolic shadow we stand, signed the Emancipation proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of nrgro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous day break to end the long night of captivity.

But one hundred Year Later

We must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination, one hundred year later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.

One Hundred Year Later   

The negro is still languished in the corners of American society ad finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.
In a sense we have come to our nation's Capital to cash a cheque, when the architecture of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they where signing a promissory note to wish every American was fall this note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that American has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of  color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, American has given the Negro People a bad cheque: a cheque which has come back marked, insufficient funds , but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.
