“By challenging guests to recite the last paragraph of Dr. King’s groundbreaking speech, we’re putting the onus on them to commit his words to memory with the hopes that they will resonate and inspire,” said Anthony Sposato, sales and marketing manager, Paradox American Dream. “We’re excited to see the turnout, especially among guests who choose to spend the weekend and day off from work or school at American Dream.”

Participating guests must recite the following closing paragraph from memory in its entirety: When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every tenement 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 spiritual, “Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.”
