So letfreedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Letfreedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ringfrom the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania.Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado.Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California.But not only that--let freedom ring from Stone Mountain in Georgia.Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. Fromevery mountainside, let freedom ring.When we let freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village andevery hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able tospeed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men,Jews and gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to joinhands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual,

"Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, I am free atlast!"
