Реферат: Martin Luther King`S

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi – from every

mountainside.

Let freedom ring. And when this happens, and when we allow freedom

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!”
