Civil rights activist Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke of freedom, justice and equality today at the Lincoln Memorial to 200,000 supporters of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedoms.
"I have a dream," King said, "... that all men are created equal ... that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will be judged not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
Rev. King spoke of the "chains of discrimination" and the right to the pursuit of happiness and of liberty, referencing the Emancipation Proclamation, signed 100 years ago.
