Callista and Newt Gingrich: Martin Luther King Jr.'s American Dream and the future
Fox News
On August 28, 1963, Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C.
Reverend King recognized that the American principles of freedom, individual liberty, and equal opportunity were the keys to a better future for Black Americans. Throughout the speech, Reverend King looked to America’s core principles to address the challenges of his time. Citing America’s founding documents, he reasserted that freedom and equal opportunity are the foundation of America. As Reverend King said, "When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men - yes, black men as well as white men - would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."More Related News
