As part of their continuing 'Faith in Action' unit, third years have been learning about Martin Luther King. King fought tirelessly for basic civil rights for the black community in Deep South USA in the 1960's. On August 28th, 1963, Dr. King gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech to a crowd of 250,000 people in Washington.
In class, we thought about Martin Luther King's dreams for the people of America. We wrote our own speeches focusing on our dreams for our families, our friends and for humanity.

I have a dream that some day my family will have a good, healthy life with enough money to live comfortably and to be treated equally no matter what culture they belong to. I dream they can live a peaceful and happy life together. I have a dream that all my brothers and sisters will do well in school and get a good job later.
I have a dream that my friends won't get involved in drugs, that they will be healthy and happy, will grow and become mature. I dream that they will have a nice wife or husband and a healthy family of children.
I have a dream for the world and environment that many of the rain-forest animals don't become extinct, that a tree is planted for for every tree that's chopped down. I dream that there will be no more war, bombs or violence and people live together in peace.
