I say to you today, my friends, so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. 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 Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. 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. I have a dream today.
I have a dream that one day down in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of 'interposition' and 'nullification', that one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.

Answer the following questions. a) What do you think about the passage deal with? Answer: I think that the passage deals with the racial discrimination prevailing in the American society against the Negro. b. The Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. Explain it. Answer: The USA is one of the richest nations of the world. But the Negro people who are also a part of the American society are the poorest section of people. So, it seems that they are living in a different island isolated from prosperity. c.

So, there should be no discrimination among the human beings on the basis of their skin colour or any other features.
