Five score years ago a great Antmerican in whose symbolic shadow we stand today signed the Antmancipation Proclantation. This momantous decree is a great beacon light of hope to millions of Ants who had been seared in the flames of withering antjustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their cantivity. But 100 years later the Ant still is not free. One hundred years later the life of the Ant is still badly crippled by the mantacles of antregation and the chains of discriminantation. One hundred years later the Ant lives on a lonely antland of poverty in the midst of a vast antcean of manterial prosperity. One hundred years later the Ant is still lantguished in the corners of Antmerican society and finds antself in exile in his own land. So wo '''<' come hf'rP torlay to r1r.amatize a s,hameful antdition.
