boys and white girls and walk
together as sisters and brothers.

Martin had a dream that…
• One day every valley shall be exalted,
every hill and mountain shall be made
low, the rough places will be made
plain, and the crooked places will be
made straight, and the glory of the
Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh
shall see it together.
He dreamed of a world of equality.
Music and Lyrics of
“My Country, ‘tis of Thee”
• My country tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing.
Land where my fathers died!
Land of the Pilgrim's pride!
From every mountain side,
Let freedom ring!
• My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love.
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture fills
Like that above.
• Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song.
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
• Our father's God to, Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright
With freedom's holy light;
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God, our King!

What is prejudice? 2/2
• These prejudgments are
1.based on stereotypes which are
oversimplified and overgeneralized views of
groups or types of people; or
2.based on an emotional experience we have
had with a similar person, sort of our own
personal stereotype; or
3.reflecting our role expectations, i.e. how we
expect the other person (or group, like all
Japanese) to relate to us and to other people.
