James Reston wrote that this work's speaker was "militant and sad." Clarence Jones suggested adding lines about defaulting on a "promissory note" that were incorporated into this text, whose speaker claimed that he had come to "cash a check" and refused to believe that the bank was bankrupt.

This speech said that people should be judged "not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." This work ends by exclaiming that "Thank God Almighty we are free at last!" For 10 points, name this speech delivered by Martin Luther King on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial.
