Quote of the Day by Martin Luther King, Jr.

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.
Martin Luther King, Jr.




Of all of Dr. King’s speeches, one of the most famous was delivered to a quarter of a million people in 1963 on the Mall in Washington, D.C. Read Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
In one of the most famous lines, Dr. King said, “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.”
What dreams do you have for the future? Think about the modern world. What problems or issues exist today? How do you think these problems can be solved?
Write about your dream for the future and how you can improve the world during your lifetime. If you need help getting started, take a look at some students’ “I Have a Dream” poems for inspiration.
