Views and feelings about discrimination against black people {English}

I'm glad that I'm with you today as we walk together in what will be the greatest demonstration in history for freedom in the history of our nation. Five decades ago, a great American - today we stand In his symbolic shadow, the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. The promulgation of this momentous decree was a great beacon of hope to the injustice of which millions of black slaves had been seared and withered in flames. It is like the dawn of joy, ending the long night of their captivity. But today, a hundred years later, black people still have not gained their freedom. Today, one hundred years later, black people are still tragically stumbling under the shackles of segregation and racial discrimination. One hundred years later, black people still live on an island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, black people still languish in the corners of American society and find themselves exiled in their own land. , and so, we are here today to dramatize a disgraceful condition. In a sense, we are here in our nation's capital to cash a check. When the founders of our Republic wrote the majestic words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they signed a promissory note that every American can inherit. Worthy of note is a promise that all men, yes, black men and white men, will be guaranteed "the inalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It is evident today that America is in arrears With this promissory note, as far as her citizens of color are concerned. Fulfill this sacred obligation rather than America giving the Negro a bad check that comes back stamped "insufficient funds." But we never believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We do not believe that there are insufficient funds in the coffers of great opportunity in this country, so we have come to cash this check that will give us precious freedom and security of justice. We have come to this sacred place also to remind America : Now is an extremely urgent moment. This is no time to engage in talk to calm down or take the sedative medications of incrementalism. It's time for real democratic promises. It is time to rise from the dark and desolate valleys of segregation onto the golden highway of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our country from the quicksand of racial injustice to the rock of brotherhood. It is time for righteous nations to ignore the urgency of the moment and that reality will be fatal for all God's children.it is. The sultry summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until the refreshing autumn of freedom and equality. 1963 was not an end, but a beginning. And those hoping black people just need to vent their anger will be content now and will have a rude awakening if the country continues business as usual. There will be no peace and quiet in America except for the rights of black citizens. The whirlwind of rebellion will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the glorious day of justice arrives. But there are also things I must say to my people, who stand on the perilous threshold to the Palace of Justice: wrongdoings that we must not commit in our quest for legal status. Let us not drink from the cup of hostility and hatred in order to satisfy our thirst for freedom. We must always be well behaved and disciplined at a high level when fighting. We cannot allow our creative protests to degenerate into violent actions. Over and over again we must rise to the sublime realms against the forces of matter and the force of soul.The marvelous new battles sweeping black society should not lead us to distrust all white people, as many of our white brothers, as evidenced by them Here today, it must be recognized that their destiny and our destiny are closely linked. They have learned that their freedom is tied to our freedom. We can't walk when we walk, we must ensure that we will always walk ahead. We can't turn back. There's a call to the zealous Civil Rights Movement's "When You Will" Get Satisfied? "We must not be satisfied as black people are the victims of unspeakable horrors of police brutality. As long as our bodies are in shape, we will never be satisfied with the fatigue of heavy travel and can't afford accommodation in motels on the highways and hotels in the city. We cannot be satisfied as long as a black man in Mississippi cannot vote and a black man in New York thinks he has not gone to vote. No, no, we cannot be satisfied, we will not be satisfied, until “justice flows like waters, and righteousness like a fountain.

"I, I didn't notice that some of you who came to this gathering today have come here through great pain and suffering. Some of you have just walked out of your tiny cells. Some of you have left you from your pursuit - your pursuit of freedom. You've been hit hard by the storms of persecution and police brutality. Keep trying, let's go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to the South. Go back to the Carolinas, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the ghettos and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that this situation can and will change. Let us not fall into despair. Of the valleys, I say to you today, my friends, and despite the difficulties we face today and tomorrow, I still have a dream and it's a dream that is deeply rooted in the American dream: one day, this country. will rise up to realize the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal" I have a dream: One day, on the red hills of Georgia, the former slaves The sons of slave owners and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the dinner table in their brotherhood.I have a dream: One day, even Mississippi, a state of unfair heat and sweltering heat, a state of sweltering heat and oppression, will be Transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a country where they are distinguished not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.i have a dream today. A dream that one day, Alabama, with its criminally racist governor, drips "insert" and "invalid" from his lips - but one day, the little black boys and girls out there in Alabama will There are few white boys and girls who can join hands, like brothers and sisters. Today I have a dream. I have a dream that one day, the deep valleys will be bridged, the mountains will be leveled, every hill and peak will be lowered, and the rough places will be. Make straight the crooked plains, “The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. "It is our hope, it is the faith that I go back to the south with. With this faith, we will be able to mine a stone of hope from the mountain of despair. With this faith, we will be able to change the cacophony of discord in our country." , became a beautiful symphony of brotherhood, and with this faith we will be able to work together, pray together, fight together, go to jail together, and stand up for freedom together, because we know we will be free. This day - this will be the day when all God's children will be able to sing with new meaning: My country of thee, dear land of the free, I sing.land my father is dead, land of pilgrims Pride, from every hill, let freedom ring. If America is to be a great nation, this dream must come true. Let freedom ring from the snowy Rocky Mountains of colorado.let freedom ring. The sounds of freedom ring from the towering mountains of new york.let the sounds of freedom ring through the allegheny peaks of pennsylvania.let the sounds of freedom ring through the graceful slopes of california.but, Not only that, but let freedom ring from the Stone Ridge of Georgia. Let freedom ring from every hill in Mississippi. Let freedom ring from every hill in Mississippi. And let freedom ring. , when this happens, when we let freedom ring, when we let freedom ring from every village big and small, from every state and every city, we will be able to hasten that day, all of God Children, black and white, Jew and Gentile, Jesus and Catholic, will be able to join hands in singing the old Negro spiritual: "Words of freedom, at last!" Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are finally free!
