“Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last.”

“Free at last, he thought. Great God Almighty, I'm free at last. Then: I believe this is redemption. And it's good, isn't it? Quite good, indeed.”

“And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:Free at last! Free at last!Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

“I have a dream!To be free at last!Free at last!Free at last.And if a man has nothing to die for,Then his life is worth nothing.”

“We are free at last to believe in ourselves.”

“Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.”
