We believe that all men have certain unalienable rights, yet many Americans do not enjoy these rights. We believe that all men are entitled to the blessings of liberty, yet millions are being deprived of these blessings, not because of their own failures but because of the color of their skin … My fellow citizens, we have come to a time of testing. We must not fail.
