when i listened to wisconsin governor scott walker speak of his admiration for dr. kingi cannot believe anyone can be quite so cynical. it must be that he simply cannot hear dr. king's message. you see, dr. king gave his "i have a dream" speech against the background of the magnificent statue of president lincoln, seated in the memorial that bears lincoln's name. now, reverend dr. martin luther king jr., his image will join president abraham lincoln in perpetuity on our national mall. and while we have memorial's two great leaders of the mall, from george washington to franklin roosevelt, i believe that president lincoln and dr. king were something more than leaders. i think they were profits who walks among us, menu gave their lives to defeat our great national evil of slavery. and racism. so we gather this morning to demand that dr. king be remembered and that his privacy made real in our time, his message of justice for all, his message that the american dream is for all of us, each and everyone of us, and his absolute conviction that the american dream begins with a
