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 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
Look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin.
How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!
The state controlling a woman would mean denying her full autonomy and full equality.
Most important, [research on affirmative action] has completely failed to show that affirmative action ever closes the academic gap between minorities and whites. And failing in this, affirmative action also fails to help blacks achieve true equality with whites - the ultimate measure of which is parity in skills and individual competence. Without this underlying parity there can never be true equality in employment, income levels, rates of home ownership, educational achievement and the rest.

Mockery when done without prejudice or discretion, can be a form of respect. It's the closest we'll ever come to true equality.
True equality means holding everyone accountable in the same way, regardless of race, gender, faith, ethnicity - or political ideology.
For decades, this great leader, often at Dr. King’s side, was denied his rightful place in history because he was openly gay. No medal can change that, but today, we honor Bayard Rustin’s memory by taking our place in his march towards true equality, no matter who we are or who we love.
