I have a dream today!
[Applause]
I have a dream that one day,
all the valleys will be exalted.
All the mountains and
hills will be made low.
All the crooked places will be
made straight, and all the rough
places be made plain.
I have a dream that the glory of
god will one day reveal himself
to all flesh, and we
will see it together.
This is the hope.
My name is Aundrea Jackson.
I'm a junior here at Oklahoma
State University majoring in
American studies with a
minor in Africana studies.
I'm also the reigning
2019-2020 Miss Black OSU.
My platform is Acts of Activism,
and that’s just a continuous
conversation on discrimination.
I'm also biracial, so I'm
not only African-American,
but I'm also Caucasian.
Seeing both sides of that in
my family really sparked my
interest at a young age.
The puffiness of my hair or the
curvatures of my shape, and the
comments on those
things kind of was
initially what sparked
my interest.
Dr. King once said,
“A True education is
character and education”.
That not only drives me
in my college career,
but also in my life.
His efforts and his actions
were not only a strong piece of
character, but it was also
terrifying to say the least, but
the fact that he was able to do
those things, and the fact that
he was passionate about those
things really paved the way for
students like myself.
With this faith, we will be
able to work together, to pray
together, to struggle together,
and to fight for
freedom together.
With this faith, we will know
that one day, we will be free.
