1. Consider these commonly repeated words: freedom (20 times) we (30 times), our (17 times), you (8 times) nation (10 times), america (5 times), american (4 times)

2. Martin Luther King, “the American Dream” denotes the opportunity and freedom of every man and woman, regardless of race, color, or creed, to be able to achieve what they are able to do.

3. Because big goals and dreams are hard to achieve not because they are big. The real reason so many people fail to achieve goals and dreams are the limiting beliefs that we all have and prevent us from making the necessary steps to chase them.

4. “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.” It might be the only quote by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

5. Interposition is a claimed right of a U.S. state to oppose actions of the federal government that the state deems unconstitutional. Nullification is an act of an individual state, while interposition was conceived as an action that would be undertaken by states acting jointly.

6. They are examples of how the governor of Alabama refused to give African American citizens equal rights.

7. 'tis of Thee" was actually based on an old British tune for royalty, "God Save The King," and is now the national anthem of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, sung of course today as -- "God Save The Queen." The tune had a long history of its use in the U.S.

8. I agree. The issue of racial equality is also intertwined with our work: for example, when we fight against private school vouchers used to fund religious education, we are also fighting taxpayer support for hundreds of schools that at best exclude and at worst were founded as segregationist academies, specifically designed to keep white and black children apart.

Hope this help.
