Read the text carefully then do the following tasks :

Black Americans can do a lot of things that their parents couldn't do years
ago because of racism. They can vote; they can eat in any restaurant they like; and
their children can go to the same schools as white children. As we prepare
ourselves to celebrate Martin Luther king Day next Monday, we 'll reproduce a part
of king's address I Have a Dream in memory of this great leader who was able to
fight racism and hatred with non- violence and love.
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 a
table of brotherhood. I have a dream that my four 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 little black boys
and girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and girls and walk together
as sisters and brothers.
When we let freedom ring, when we let it from every village, from every state
and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all God's children, black
men, and white men will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old
Negro spiritual, " Free at last! Free at last! Thank God almighty, we are free at last!"
