[01:02.37]I should like to talk to you briefly
[01:05.10]about civil rights and human freedom.
[01:08.86]
[01:11.99]It is my deep conviction
[01:14.68]that we have reached a turning point
[01:17.18]in the long history of our country’s efforts
[01:20.36]to guarantee freedom and equality to all our citizens.
[01:24.40]
[01:26.99]Our immediate task is to remove the last remnants of the barriers
[01:31.63]which stand between millions of our citizens and their birthright.
[01:35.96]
[01:37.45]There is no justifiable reason
[01:41.54]for discrimination because of ancestry,
[01:45.52]or religion,
[01:47.02]or race,
[01:48.56]or color.
