Students from the Salish School of Spokane can be seen here reciting an excerpt of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech in the Salish language.

King delivered his famous speech on August 28, 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial during the March on Washington. During the speech he called for an end to racism.

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,’”

I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice.


I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

I have a dream today!"

Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York.
Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.
Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.
Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California." King said.
