SCRIPT FOR CHORAL READING OF "I HAVE A DREAM" SPEECH
Numbered lines spoken by individual students, Capitalized and/or Boldfaced lines recited by the whole class.
1. And 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 TODAY!
2. 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 TODAY!
3. 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 TODAY!
4. 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 TODAY!
5. 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!
6. 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; 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. I HAVE A DREAM TODAY!
7. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together. I HAVE A DREAM TODAY!
8. This is our hope. This is the faith that I will go back to the South with. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. I HAVE A DREAM TODAY!
9. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. I HAVE A DREAM TODAY!
10. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. I HAVE A DREAM TODAY!
11. And this will be the day, this will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with new meaning, "My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the Pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring!" And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. I HAVE A DREAM TODAY
12. And so let freedom ring -- from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. LET FREEDOM RING!
13. Let freedom ring -- from the mighty mountains of New York. LET FREEDOM RING!
14. Let freedom ring -- from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. LET FREEDOM RING!
15. Let freedom ring -- from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado. LET FREEDOM RING!
16. Let freedom ring -- from the curvaceous slopes of California. LET FREEDOM RING!
17. But not only that.Let freedom ring -- from Stone Mountain of Georgia. LET FREEDOM RING!
18. Let freedom ring -- from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. LET FREEDOM RING!
19. Let freedom ring -- from every hill and molehill of Mississippi, from every mountainside, let freedom ring! LET FREEDOM RING!
20-21. And when this happens, when we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, 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."

Words to song "Free At Last"
Free at last
Free at Last
Free from the world and all its sins
Free
Free at last
Free at last
I've been to the top of the mountain
Hatred had be bound
Had me tied down
Had me turned round, couldn't find my way
Then you walked with me
And you set my spirit free
Took me and my family down that long highway
Free at last
Free at Last
Free from the world and all its sins
Free at last
Free at last
I've been to the top of the mountain
I will never forget when the voices called
I will never forget how the night did fall
I will never forget when you rose to the call
You lived and loved and sang and preached and died for us all
Free at last
Free at Last
Free from the world and all its sins
Free at last
Free at last
I've been to the top of the mountain
Repeat 2 X
Free at Last
Free from the world and all its sins
Free
Free at last
Free at last
I've been to the top of the mountain
Hatred had be bound
Had me tied down
Had me turned round, couldn't find my way
Then you walked with me
And you set my spirit free
Took me and my family down that long highway
Free at last
Free at Last
Free from the world and all its sins
Free at last
Free at last
I've been to the top of the mountain
I will never forget when the voices called
I will never forget how the night did fall
I will never forget when you rose to the call
You lived and loved and sang and preached and died for us all
Free at last
Free at Last
Free from the world and all its sins
Free at last
Free at last
I've been to the top of the mountain
Repeat 2 X
