"With courage they rallied and answered the call . . . dreaming of
freedom and justice for all."
The United States of America was founded on the declaration that all men
are created equal. But nearly two hundred years after that proclamation,
America was still deeply segregated.
Slowly but surely, powerful leaders as well as everyday citizens spoke
up for their dreams and beliefs. Soon, a people proud and strong stood
up as one for their rights, and a new America came to be.
