Live the Dream Leddy Hammock

From Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech, 1963:

“As we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.

We cannot turn back.”  “With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope . . . .”

“With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together . . . .”

“With this faith we will be able . . . to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day . . . .  Let freedom ring!”
