I HAVE A DREAM (Commemorating FREDERICK DOUGLASS)

I HAVE A DREAM, that the words the President uttered at the end of his speech yesterday would permeate his heart and become his actions and not just rhetoric for an event. I HAVE A DREAM, that the Frederick Douglass in all if us would rise up to meet the challenges of our day so that we might truly become (not in speech but in action) ONE NATION under God, indivisible! I HAVE A DREAM!

Please watch this short video:




QUOTING from the last paragraph of the President Obama's speech on 8/28/13:

"And that’s the lesson of our past.  That's the promise of tomorrow -- that in the face of impossible odds, people who love their country can change it.  That when millions of Americans of every race and every region, every faith and every station, can join together in a spirit of brotherhood, then those mountains will be made low, and those rough places will be made plain, and those crooked places, they straighten out towards grace, and we will vindicate the faith of those who sacrificed so much and live up to the true meaning of our creed, as one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." (B. Obama)
