Today while searching for an article to read in English, I found a great speech by Martin Luther King Jr.: I have a dream
Most of you probably heard or saw it before. There is a sentence that I can’t understand. I seem to understand but I can’t grasp the exact meaning of the words and expressions.
Here is the sentence.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character.”
What is the exact meaning of ‘the content of their character’?
I understand what he tried to say: not by their appearances but their personality
My question is: what is meaning of ‘content’? And what is the meaning of ‘character’?
Could you show me other example sentences with these words?
The more, the better.
Thanks for your help in advance.
