| A Forgotten Dream? One day a year, we remember the Dreamer honor the man -his life, his legacy, his sacrifices his living and dying for his country, his dream One day a year, the noble words of his dream spoken so long ago, echo vividly across the years reminding us of his struggle and his vision One summer day, before the emancipator�s shrine the world and history watched the Dreamer speak sharing the dream he lived for with his audience �I have a dream that my four 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� One day a year, people look up from everyday life to ask if America has or ever will live up to its promise the simple creed "�that all men are created equal" One spring day, at a hotel in the city of Memphis the Dreamer was struck down by the hate he fought Did America forget his dream when he died? One day, I want to be able to look at America, stand up proclaim fulfillment of the Dreamer�s dream, "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
