Five score years ago, uh great American, in whose symbolic shadow we's stand taday, signed da Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as uh great beacon light o' hope ta millions o' Negro slaves who had been seared in da flames o' withering injustice. It came as uh joyous daybreak ta end da long night o' they captivity.
But one hundred years later, da Negro still iz not free. One hundred years later, da life o' da Negro iz still sadly crippled by opression an' da chains o' discrimination. One hundred years later, da Negro lives on uh lonely island o' poverty in da midst o' uh vast ocean o' material prosperity. One hundred years later, da Negro iz still languished in da corners o' American society an' finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here taday ta dramatize uh shameful condition.
brace yourself foo'!
