Here is an excerpt from one of his most famous speeches. "I Have a Dream"
"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 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.
I
have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, with its vicious racists,
with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of
interposition and nullification; one day right there in Alabama, little
black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white
boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
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." - Martin Luther King Jr.

ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly :)
Deletewhat is that food coloring painted on a piece of cheese??
ReplyDeleteI use Americolor edible color markers. You can trace and color any picture you want onto wax paper, then press the cheese to it. sometimes I leave it wrapped in the wax paper until I pack lunch in the morning. I've also found that while it's wrapped if you rub the picture a bit (flip the whole thing wrapped upside down) before you peel off the cheese it transfers better. You can also use a paint brush with food coloring or go over with markers again for anything that doesn't transfer.
