"I say to you today, my friends, that in spite of the difficulties and frustrations of the moment, 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.'"

 

Tomorrow, the first African-American president of the United States of America will be sworn into office. A portion of that dream will be fulfilled.
