00:00.000 --> 00:02.253
- His life cut short at the age of 39.

00:03.390 --> 00:07.470
But those 39 short years
had changed America forever.

00:07.470 --> 00:10.820
The conscience of
America had been touched.

00:10.820 --> 00:13.140
Across the land, people had
begun to treat each other

00:13.140 --> 00:16.550
not as blacks and whites,
but as fellow Americans.

00:16.550 --> 00:18.893
And in his words, from every mountainside,

00:20.220 --> 00:21.053
let freedom--

00:21.053 --> 00:25.619
- [Martin Luther King Jr] Ring from every hill
and molehill in Mississippi.

00:25.619 --> 00:26.819
From every mountainside.

00:28.242 --> 00:32.539
Sons of former slaves and the
sons of former slave owners,

00:32.539 --> 00:35.900
will they be able to sit down together

00:35.900 --> 00:37.570
at the table of brotherhood?

00:37.570 --> 00:39.223
I have a dream.

00:39.223 --> 00:41.973
