[0:02]Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree. These were the words of Martin Luther King Jr., a person who does not need any introduction to. So today, I, Nivedita Nayer from Shanti Shakti School Bopal, have got this opportunity to declamate a small part from his evergreen speech. I have a dream delivered on August 28, 1963, to get rid of racism from America. The speech goes like this. 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 George, sons of former slaves and sons of former slave owners, will they be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood? I have a dream that one day, my four little children will 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, every valley shall be exalted, every hill and every mountain shall be made low. The rough places will be made plain and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see together. This is our hope. This is the faith I go back to the south with. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jarring discord of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. Free at last, free at last. Thank God. Almighty, we are free at last. Thank you.
