马丁路德金全英文演讲稿
马丁路德金全英文演讲稿Martin Luther King, Jr.: “I Have a Dream” delivered 28 August 1963, at the Lincoln Memorial, Washington D.C. I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves, who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity. But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we”ve come here today to dramatize a shameful condition. In a sense we have come to our nation”s capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marke d “insufficient funds.” But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so we have come to cash this check, a checkthat will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God”s children.It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro”s legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end but a beginning. Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. There will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges. But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must ever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force. The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied upwith our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom. We cannot walk alone. And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back. There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, “When will you be satisfied?” We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied and we will not be satisfied until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. Some of you have come from areas where your quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecutions and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive. Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends. And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal. I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave ownerswill be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I havea dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state swelteringwith the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, willbe transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream thatmy four little children will one day live in a nation where they will notbe judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.I have a dream today! I have a dream that one day, down in Alabama, withits vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with thewords of interposition and nullification; one day right down in Alabamalittle black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with littlewhite boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream today!I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, and every hilland mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, andthe crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shallbe revealed and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. Thisis the faith that I will go back to the South with. With this faith wewill be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. Withthis faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nationinto a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be ableto work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jailtogether, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be freeone day. And th is will be the day, this will be the day when all of God”schildren will be able to sing with new meaning, “My country “tis of thee,sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, landof the Pilgrim”s pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring!” Andif America is to be a great nation, this must become true. And so letfreedom ring -- from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring -- from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring -- from the heightening Alleghenies ofPennsylvania. Let freedom ring -- from the snow-cappedRockies of Colorado. Let freedom ring -- from the curvaceousslopes of California. But not only that. Let freedom ring -- from Stone Mountain of Georgia. Letfreedom ring -- from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. Letfreedom ring -- from every hill and molehill of Mississippi, from every mountainside, let freedom ring! And when this happens, whenwe allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and everyhamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up thatday when all of God”s children, black me n and white men, Jews and Gentiles,Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the wordsof the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last, free at last. Thank God Almighty, we are free at last.”。
【名人演讲】罗伯特·肯尼迪：在马丁·路德·金遇刺后的演说
【名人演讲】罗伯特·肯尼迪：在马丁·路德·金遇刺后的演说在马丁·路德·金遇刺后的演说（美国）罗伯特·肯尼迪女士们先生们：今晚我只想对你们讲几分钟，因为我知道了一个令你们所有人非常悲伤的消息，而且，我认为，它也是令我们所有的公民伙伴，以及令全世界热爱和平的人们非常悲伤的消息。
这个消息是马丁·路德·金今晚在得克萨斯的孟菲斯遭遇枪击而被杀害。
马丁·路德·金为他的同胞们把自己的一生献给爱，献给正义，他因为作出这种努力而被害。
在这艰难的一天，在这个令美国艰难的时刻，追问一下我们是怎样一个民族，我们要走向何方，或许不无稗益。
对于作为黑人的你们——考虑到现场的证据，显然白人须对金的遇刺负责——你们可能义愤填膺，满腔仇恨，亟欲复仇。
我们可能会向着那样一个国家的方向前进，以更加两极化的形式——黑人拥簇黑人，白人拥簇白人，彼此充满敌意。
或者我们能够努力，正如马丁·路德·金所做的，互相理解，用一种以爱心和同情去理解的努力取代那种暴力行为，取代已染遍我们国土的斑斑血迹。
对于你们中那些由这一非正义行动导致对全体白人充满仇恨和怀疑的黑人，我只能说我内心怀着同样的情感。
我有一位家庭成员被害，但他是被一个白人杀害的。
然而我们必须做出努力，必须在美国作出努力，我们必须努力去理解，努力度过这十分艰难的时期。
我最喜爱的诗人是埃斯库罗斯。
他写道：“在我们的睡梦中，不能忘怀的痛苦一点一滴地落在心头，直到我们在自己的绝望中，明智违背我们的意愿受上帝庄严的感召来临。
”在美国我们需要的不是分裂；在美国我们需要的不是仇恨；在美国我们需要的不是暴力行动或无法无天，而是友爱，智慧，和彼此间的同情，以及对于那些在我们的国家中仍承受痛苦的人的一种正义感，无论他们是白人还是黑人。
因此，今晚我请求你们回家为马丁·路德·金的家人祈祷——是的，理应如此——但更重要的是为我们自己的国家，为我们大家热爱的国家祈祷——为我刚才说过的理解和同情祈祷。

马丁路德金遇刺演讲
And while he knew somewhere deep in his bones that he would not get there with us,
he knew that we would get there.
we are our sister’s keeper... we are our brother’s keeper,
our sister’s keeper, and I told him, “either we go up together, or we go down together.”
And when he was killed the following day,
And on a night when cities across the nation were alight with violence, all was quiet in Indianapolis.
In... In the dark days after Dr. King’s death, Coretta Scott King pointed out the stars.
I remember asking her how she was able to manage all those burdens and she would explain that,
He preached the gospel of brotherhood; of equality and justice.
That’s the cause for which he lived — and for which he died forty years ago today.

马丁路德金被杀让我记忆深刻英语作文
马丁路德金被杀让我记忆深刻英语作文The Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.: A Profound Moment in History。
The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. on April 4, 1968, was a profound and devastating event that left an indelible mark on the civil rights movement and the entire nation. As one of the most prominent and influential leaders of the African-American community, King's death was a tremendous loss, not only for his family and close associates but also for the millions of people who had been inspired by his message of non-violent resistance and his unwavering commitment to racial equality.King's life and legacy had been a beacon of hope for those who had long been oppressed and marginalized in American society. His leadership during the Montgomery bus boycott, the March on Washington, and the Selma to Montgomery marches had galvanized the civil rights movement and brought national attention to the urgent need for change. His powerful speeches, such as the iconic "I Have a Dream" address, had captivated the hearts and minds of people around the world, and his message of love, justice, and peaceful protest had become a rallying cry for the oppressed and the disenfranchised.The circumstances surrounding King's assassination were particularly shocking and tragic. He had been in Memphis, Tennessee, to support a sanitation workers' strike, and was standing on the balcony of the Lorraine Motel when a single shot rang out, striking him in the neck. The gunman, James Earl Ray, a small-time criminal with a history of racist views, had escaped the scene and evaded capture for several months before being apprehended in London.The news of King's death spread rapidly, and the nation was plunged into a state of mourning and unrest. Riots erupted in cities across the country, as the anger and frustration of the African-American community boiled over. The loss of such a beloved and influential leader was a devastating blow, and many feared that the progress made in the civil rights movement would be undone.However, in the aftermath of the tragedy, King's legacy only grew stronger. His message of non-violence and his unwavering commitment to racial equality continued to inspire and galvanize the civil rights movement, and his dream of a more just and equitable society remained a guiding light for generations to come.The impact of King's assassination was far-reaching and long-lasting. It sparked a renewed commitment to the cause of civil rights, and it led to the passage of landmark legislation, such as the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which prohibited discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing. It also led to the establishment of the Martin Luther King Jr. federal holiday, which is observed annually on the third Monday of January, as a way to honor his life and legacy.Today, nearly 55 years after his death, Martin Luther King Jr. is still widely revered as one of the greatest leaders and civil rights activists in American history. His words and actions continue to resonate with people around the world, and his dream of a more just and equitable society remains a powerful and enduring vision.The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. was a profound and tragic moment in history, but it also served to galvanize the civil rights movement and to inspire a new generation of activists and leaders to continue the fight for racial justice and equality. As we reflect on this pivotal event, we are reminded of the power of non-violent resistance, the importance of standing up for what is right, and the enduring legacy of a man who dedicated his life to the pursuit of a more just and compassionate world.。
马丁路德金简介英文演讲稿
Hello, everyone, I want to say I am very glad to be here to share something about martin luther king with you. But, this is also the first time I do a speech in English. So actually, I have to say I am very nervous to be here. Well, I really so pride of talking about a great man from America. And then we will learn something called love, brave and persistence from him. He Was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. And in America, there are three celebrates are named as person s’ names. They are albrahum lincon, joge washingtom and martin luther king. We all know that the two former are American presidents and martin is a negro.I hope to begin my speech with the background of America in the beginning of last century. Although the Civil War had led the movement of black equality, negroes in America weren’t be treated equally as expected. The late 19th century, the American black’s civil rights were limited and constricted on many aspects. In daily life, for example, the black mustn’t with the whites live in the same places, go to the same schools, take the same vehicles. They even couldn’t take part in American society activities just like slaves one hundred years ago. America has developed a lot, but the life level of the blacks was not. So we can recognize that it was a significant problem in the United States.Martin luther king was born in Atlanta Botanical in 1929. When he was young, he got two bachelor degree and one doctorate. We can say that he was really a good student and work hard.Unfortunately, he is a negro and he was in the United States.In 1955, a black woman named Rosa Parks was thrown into jail and fined simply because she refused to give up her seat on an Alabama bus so a white man could sit down.. After that, King started his movement and he was the black leader of a movement for black equality.The central theme of King’s campaign for civil rights was non-violence.. His campaign brought huge publicity and because King taught blacks to meet the whites with love, not hate, it made the whites look silly and evil in the eyes of the world. For example, when students organized lunchtime protests, the world saw white men arresting peaceful blacks because they sat in the wrong seats in a lunchbar in Woolworth’s. When children marched in Birmingham, Alabama the police used water cannon and dogs against them, arrested them and put them in jail. Another important weapon in King’s fight against injustice was publicity. For many poor blacks, life was simply a struggle to feed their families and keep a place to live. King needed to reach all those people and show them that their lives could be better. He made speeches all over America. He held meetings. When he was arrested, news of his arrest was in newspapers around the world. BlackAfrican-Americans became radicalized and wanted to fight.Although King was gunned in April 4th 1968, the freedom will never be killed. And now, king’s wife and sons are still work for the career of freedom. Today, we can see the black live a better life.However many whites today still believe they are superior to blacks, in all parts of the world,. Racism exists in more or less extreme forms in most cultures, and is one of the most pressing issues in world politics today. Sometimes, we can see people from all over the world are treated equally for example in the aspect of sport especially in Olimpic games. No matter who won the gold medal, the all world would cheer for him. King said he had dream that little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.One day, it will not just be a dream.Thank you!。

刺杀肯尼迪(英文演讲)
Who grieves for Lee Harvey Oswald buried in a cheap grave under the name Oswald? Nobody.In a few minutes, false statements and press leaks about Oswald circulate the globe.The official legend is created and the media takes it from there.The glitter of official lies and the epic splendor of JFK's funeral confuse the eye and confound the understanding.Hitler said: "The bigger the lie, the more people will believe it."Lee Harvey Oswald, a crazed, lonely man who wanted attention and got it by killing a President was only the first in a long line of patsies.In later years, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King men whose commitment to change and peace made them dangerous to men committed to war, would follow also killed by such lonely, crazed men. Men who remove all guilt by making murder a meaningless act of a loner. We've all become Hamlets in our country, children of a slain father-leader whose killers still possess the throne.The ghost of John F. Kennedy confronts us with the secret murder at the heart of the American Dream.He forces on us the appalling questions: Of what is our Constitution made?What is our lives worth?What is the future of a democracy where a President can be assassinatedunder suspicious circumstances while the machinery of legal action scarcely trembles?How many more political murders disguised as heart attacks suicides, cancers, drug overdoses?How many airplane and car crashes will occur before they are exposed for what they are?"Treason doth never prosper", wrote an English poet."What's the reason?""For if it prospers, none dare call it treason."The American public has yet to see the Zap ruder film.Why?The American public has yet to see the real X-rays and the photographs of the autopsy.Why?There are hundreds of documents could help prove this conspiracy.Why are they being withheld or burned by the government?When my office or you, the people, asked those questions, demanded evidence, the answer from on high has always been: National security. What kind of national security do we have when we have been robbed of our leaders?What national security permits the removal of fundamental power from the hands of the American people and validates the ascendancy of aninvisible government in the United States?That kind of national security is when it smells like it, feels like it, and looks like it. You call it what it is: Fascism!I submit to you that what took place on November 22, 1963 was a " coup d'état".It’s most direct and tragic result was the reversal of Kennedy's decision to withdraw from Vietnam.The war is the biggest business in America worth $80 billion a year. President Kennedy was murdered by a conspiracy that was planned at the highest levels of our government, and was carried out by fanatical and disciplined cold warriors. In the Pentagon and CIA's covert-operation apparatus.Among them, Clay Shaw, here before you.It was a public execution, and it was covered up by like-minded people in the Dallas Police, the Secret Service, the FBI, and the White House, all the way up to, including J. Edgar Hoover and Lyndon Johnson who were accomplices after the fact.The assassination reduced the President to a transient official.His job is to speak as often as possible of the nation's desire for peace while he acts as a business agent in the Congress for the military and their contractors.Some people say I'm crazy.Southern caricature seeking higher office.There's a simple way to determine if I am paranoid.Ask the two men who profited most from the assassination former President Johnson and your new President, Nixon to release the 51 CIA documents pertaining to Lee Oswald and Jack Ruby.Or the secret CIA memo on Oswald's activities in Russia that was destroyed while was being photocopied.All these documents are yours.The people's property. You pay for it.But because the government considers you as children who might be too disturbed to face this reality, or because you might lynch those involved, you cannot see these documents for another 75 years.I'm in my early 40s so I'll have "shuffled off this mortal coil" by then. But I am already telling my eight-year-old son to keep himself physically fit. So that one glorious September morning, in the year 2038, he can walk into the National Archives and find out what the CIA and FBI knew. They may even push it back then.It may become a generational affair.With questions passed down, father and son, mother and daughter.But someday, somewhere, someone may find out the damn truth.We better.We better or we might just as well build ourselves another governmentlike the Declaration of Independence says to, when the old one ain't work. Just a little farther out west.An American naturalist wrote:” A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against its government."I'd hate to be in your shoes today.You have a lot to think about. You've seen much evidence the public has never seen.Going back to when we were children, I think that most of us in this courtroom thought justice came into being automatically.That virtue was its own reward.That good triumphs over evil.But as we get older we know this just isn't truth.Individual human beings have to create justice, and this is not easy because the truth often poses a threat to power and one often has to fight power at great risk to themselves.People like S.M. Holland, Lee Bowers, Jean Hill, Willie O'Keefe have all taken that risk and they have all come forward.I have here some $8,000 in these letters sent to my office from all over the country.Quarters, dimes, dollars, bills from housewives, plumbers, car salesmen, teachers, invalids.These are people who cannot afford to send money but do.People who drive cabs who nurse in hospitals who see their kids go to Vietnam.Why?Because they care.Because they want to know the truth.Because they want their country back.Because it still belongs to us as long as the people have the guts to fight for what they believe in.The truth is the most important value we have, because if the truth does not endure, if the government murders truth if we cannot respect these people then this is not the country which I was born in, and certainly not the country that I want to die in.Tennyson wrote:” Authority forgets a dying king."This was never more true than for John F. Kennedy whose murder was probably one of the most terrible moments in the history of our country. We, the people, the jury system sitting in judgment on Clay Shaw. Represent the hope. Of humanity against government power.In discharging your duty to bring a first conviction in this house of cards against Clay Shaw"Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country."Do not forget your dying king.Show this world. That this is still a government "of the people, for the people and by the people."Nothing as long as you live, will ever be more important.It's up to you.。
马丁·路德·金英文演讲：我已达至峰顶
马丁·路德·金英文演讲：我已达至峰顶马丁·路德·金是著名的美国民权运动领袖，今天给大家分享一篇马丁路德金在临死前一天的精彩演讲，希望对大家有所帮助。
马丁·路德·金英文演讲：我已达至峰顶Thank you very kindly, my friends. As I listened to Ralph Abernathy and his eloquent and generous introduction and then thought about myself, I wondered who he was talking about. It's always good to have your closest friend and associate to say something good about you. And Ralph Abernathy is the best friend that I have in the world. I'm delighted to see each of you here tonight in spite of a storm warning. You reveal that you are determined to go on anyhow.Something is happening in Memphis; something is happening in our world. And you know, if I were standing at the beginning of time, with the possibility of taking a kind of general and panoramic view of the whole of human history up to now, and the Almighty said to me, "Martin Luther King, which age would you like to live in?" I would take my mental flight by Egypt and I would watch God's children in their magnificent trek from the dark dungeons of Egypt through, or rather across the Red Sea, through the wilderness on toward the promised land. And in spite of its magnificence, I wouldn't stop there.I would move on by Greece and take my mind to Mount Olympus. And I would see Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Euripides and Aristophanesassembled around the Parthenon. And I would watch them around the Parthenon as they discussed the great and eternal issues of reality. But I wouldn't stop there.I would go on, even to the great heyday of the Roman Empire. And I would see developments around there, through various emperors and leaders. But I wouldn't stop there.I would even come up to the day of the Renaissance, and get a quick picture of all that the Renaissance did for the cultural and aesthetic life of man. But I wouldn't stop there.I would even go by the way that the man for whom I am named had his habitat. And I would watch Martin Luther as he tacked his ninety-five theses on the door at the church of Wittenberg. But I wouldn't stop there.I would come on up even to 1863, and watch a vacillating President by the name of Abraham Lincoln finally come to the conclusion that he had to sign the Emancipation Proclamation. But I wouldn't stop there.I would even come up to the early thirties, and see a man grappling with the problems of the bankruptcy of his nation. And come with an eloquent cry that we have nothing to fear but "fear itself." But I wouldn't stop there.Strangely enough, I would turn to the Almighty, and say, "If you allow me to live just a few years in the second half of the 20th century, Iwill be happy."Now that's a strange statement to make, because the world is all messed up. The nation is sick. Trouble is in the land; confusion all around. That's a strange statement. But I know, somehow, that only when it is dark enough can you see the stars. And I see God working in this period of the twentieth century in a way that men, in some strange way, are responding.Something is happening in our world. The masses of people are rising up. And wherever they are assembled today, whether they are in Johannesburg, South Africa; Nairobi, Kenya; Accra, Ghana; New York City; Atlanta, Georgia; Jackson, Mississippi; or Memphis, Tennessee -- the cry is always the same: "We want to be free."And another reason that I'm happy to live in this period is that we have been forced to a point where we are going to have to grapple with the problems that men have been trying to grapple with through history, but the demands didn't force them to do it. Survival demands that we grapple with them. Men, for years now, have been talking about war and peace. But now, no longer can they just talk about it. It is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence in this world; it's nonviolence or nonexistence. That is where we are today.And also in the human rights revolution, if something isn't done, and done in a hurry, to bring the colored peoples of the world out oftheir long years of poverty, their long years of hurt and neglect, the whole world is doomed. Now, I'm just happy that God has allowed me to live in this period to see what is unfolding. And I'm happy that He's allowed me to be in Memphis.I can remember -- I can remember when Negroes were just going around as Ralph has said, so often, scratching where they didn't itch, and laughing when they were not tickled. But that day is all over. We mean business now, and we are determined to gain our rightful place in God's world.And that's all this whole thing is about. We aren't engaged in any negative protest and in any negative arguments with anybody. We are saying that we are determined to be men. We are determined to be people. We are saying -- We are saying that we are God's children. And that we are God's children, we don't have to live like we are forced to live.Now, what does all of this mean in this great period of history? It means that we've got to stay together. We've got to stay together and maintain unity. You know, whenever Pharaoh wanted to prolong the period of slavery in Egypt, he had a favorite, favorite formula for doing it. What was that? He kept the slaves fighting among themselves. But whenever the slaves get together, something happens in Pharaoh's court, and he cannot hold the slaves in slavery. When the slaves get together,that's the beginning of getting out of slavery. Now let us maintain unity.Secondly, let us keep the issues where they are. The issue is injustice. The issue is the refusal of Memphis to be fair and honest in its dealings with its public servants, who happen to be sanitation workers. Now, we've got to keep attention on that. That's always the problem with a little violence. You know what happened the other day, and the press dealt only with the window-breaking. I read the articles. They very seldom got around to mentioning the fact that one thousand, three hundred sanitation workers are on strike, and that Memphis is not being fair to them, and that Mayor Loeb is in dire need of a doctor. They didn't get around to that.Now we're going to march again, and we've got to march again, in order to put the issue where it is supposed to be -- and force everybody to see that there are thirteen hundred of God's children here suffering, sometimes going hungry, going through dark and dreary nights wondering how this thing is going to come out. That's the issue. And we've got to say to the nation: We know how it's coming out. For when people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory.We aren't going to let any mace stop us. We are masters in our nonviolent movement in disarming police forces; they don't know what to do. I've seen them so often. I remember in Birmingham, Alabama,when we were in that majestic struggle there, we would move out of the 16th Street Baptist Church day after day; by the hundreds we would move out. And Bull Connor would tell them to send the dogs forth, and they did come; but we just went before the dogs singing, "Ain't gonna let nobody turn me around."Bull Connor next would say, "Turn the fire hoses on." And as I said to you the other night, Bull Connor didn't know history. He knew a kind of physics that somehow didn't relate to the transphysics that we knew about. And that was the fact that there was a certain kind of fire that no water could put out. And we went before the fire hoses; we had known water. If we were Baptist or some other denominations, we had been immersed. If we were Methodist, and some others, we had been sprinkled, but we knew water. That couldn't stop us.And we just went on before the dogs and we would look at them; and we'd go on before the water hoses and we would look at it, and we'd just go on singing "Over my head I see freedom in the air." And then we would be thrown in the paddy wagons, and sometimes we were stacked in there like sardines in a can. And they would throw us in, and old Bull would say, "Take 'em off," and they did; and we would just go in the paddy wagon singing, "We Shall Overcome." And every now and then we'd get in jail, and we'd see the jailers looking through the windows being moved by our prayers, and being moved by our words and oursongs. And there was a power there which Bull Connor couldn't adjust to; and so we ended up transforming Bull into a steer, and we won our struggle in Birmingham. Now we've got to go on in Memphis just like that. I call upon you to be with us when we go out Monday.Now about injunctions: We have an injunction and we're going into court tomorrow morning to fight this illegal, unconstitutional injunction. All we say to America is, "Be true to what you said on paper." If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe I could understand some of these illegal injunctions. Maybe I could understand the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they hadn't committed themselves to that over there. But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right. And so just as I say, we aren't going to let dogs or water hoses turn us around, we aren't going to let any injunction turn us around. We are going on.We need all of you. And you know what's beautiful to me is to see all of these ministers of the Gospel. It's a marvelous picture. Who is it that is supposed to articulate the longings and aspirations of the people more than the preacher? Somehow the preacher must have a kind of fire shut up in his bones. And whenever injustice is around he tell it. Somehow the preacher must be an Amos, and saith, "When God speakswho can but prophesy?" Again with Amos, "Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream." Somehow the preacher must say with Jesus, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me," and he's anointed me to deal with the problems of the poor."And I want to commend the preachers, under the leadership of these noble men: James Lawson, one who has been in this struggle for many years; he's been to jail for struggling; he's been kicked out of Vanderbilt University for this struggle, but he's still going on, fighting for the rights of his people. Reverend Ralph Jackson, Billy Kiles; I could just go right on down the list, but time will not permit. But I want to thank all of them. And I want you to thank them, because so often, preachers aren't concerned about anything but themselves. And I'm always happy to see a relevant ministry.It's all right to talk about "long white robes over yonder," in all of its symbolism. But ultimately people want some suits and dresses and shoes to wear down here! It's all right to talk about "streets flowing with milk and honey," but God has commanded us to be concerned about the slums down here, and his children who can't eat three square meals a day. It's all right to talk about the new Jerusalem, but one day, God's preacher must talk about the new New York, the new Atlanta, the new Philadelphia, the new Los Angeles, the new Memphis, Tennessee. This iswhat we have to do.Now the other thing we'll have to do is this: Always anchor our external direct action with the power of economic withdrawal. Now, we are poor people. Individually, we are poor when you compare us with white society in America. We are poor. Never stop and forget that collectively -- that means all of us together -- collectively we are richer than all the nations in the world, with the exception of nine. Did you ever think about that? After you leave the United States, Soviet Russia, Great Britain, West Germany, France, and I could name the others, the American Negro collectively is richer than most nations of the world. We have an annual income of more than thirty billion dollars a year, which is more than all of the exports of the United States, and more than the national budget of Canada. Did you know that? That's power right there, if we know how to pool it.We don't have to argue with anybody. We don't have to curse and go around acting bad with our words. We don't need any bricks and bottles. We don't need any Molotov cocktails. We just need to go around to these stores, and to these massive industries in our country, and say, "God sent us by here, to say to you that you're not treating his children right. And we've come by here to ask you to make the first item on your agenda fair treatment, where God's children are concerned. Now, if you are not prepared to do that, we do have an agenda that we must follow.And our agenda calls for withdrawing economic support from you."And so, as a result of this, we are asking you tonight, to go out and tell your neighbors not to buy Coca-Cola in Memphis. Go by and tell them not to buy Sealtest milk. Tell them not to buy -- what is the other bread? -- Wonder Bread. And what is the other bread company, Jesse? Tell them not to buy Hart's bread. As Jesse Jackson has said, up to now, only the garbage men have been feeling pain; now we must kind of redistribute the pain. We are choosing these companies because they haven't been fair in their hiring policies; and we are choosing them because they can begin the process of saying they are going to support the needs and the rights of these men who are on strike. And then they can move on town -- downtown and tell Mayor Loeb to do what is right.But not only that, we've got to strengthen black institutions. I call upon you to take your money out of the banks downtown and deposit your money in Tri-State Bank. We want a "bank-in" movement in Memphis. Go by the savings and loan association. I'm not asking you something that we don't do ourselves at SCLC. Judge Hooks and others will tell you that we have an account here in the savings and loan association from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. We are telling you to follow what we are doing. Put your money there. You have six or seven black insurance companies here in the city of Memphis. Take out your insurance there. We want to have an "insurance-in."Now these are some practical things that we can do. We begin the process of building a greater economic base. And at the same time, we are putting pressure where it really hurts. I ask you to follow through here.Now, let me say as I move to my conclusion that we've got to give ourselves to this struggle until the end. Nothing would be more tragic than to stop at this point in Memphis. We've got to see it through. And when we have our march, you need to be there. If it means leaving work, if it means leaving school -- be there. Be concerned about your brother. You may not be on strike. But either we go up together, or we go down together.Let us develop a kind of dangerous unselfishness. One day a man came to Jesus, and he wanted to raise some questions about some vital matters of life. At points he wanted to trick Jesus, and show him that he knew a little more than Jesus knew and throw him off base....Now that question could have easily ended up in a philosophical and theological debate. But Jesus immediately pulled that question from mid-air, and placed it on a dangerous curve between Jerusalem and Jericho. And he talked about a certain man, who fell among thieves. You remember that a Levite and a priest passed by on the other side. They didn't stop to help him. And finally a man of another race came by. He got down from his beast, decided not to be compassionate by proxy. Buthe got down with him, administered first aid, and helped the man in need. Jesus ended up saying, this was the good man, this was the great man, because he had the capacity to project the "I" into the "thou," and to be concerned about his brother.Now you know, we use our imagination a great deal to try to determine why the priest and the Levite didn't stop. At times we say they were busy going to a church meeting, an ecclesiastical gathering, and they had to get on down to Jerusalem so they wouldn't be late for their meeting. At other times we would speculate that there was a religious law that "One who was engaged in religious ceremonials was not to touch a human body twenty-four hours before the ceremony." And every now and then we begin to wonder whether maybe they were not going down to Jerusalem -- or down to Jericho, rather to organize a "Jericho Road Improvement Association." That's a possibility. Maybe they felt that it was better to deal with the problem from the causal root, rather than to get bogged down with an individual effect.But I'm going to tell you what my imagination tells me. It's possible that those men were afraid. You see, the Jericho road is a dangerous road. I remember when Mrs. King and I were first in Jerusalem. We rented a car and drove from Jerusalem down to Jericho. And as soon as we got on that road, I said to my wife, "I can see why Jesus used this as the setting for his parable." It's a winding, meandering road. It's reallyconducive for ambushing. You start out in Jerusalem, which is about 1200 miles -- or rather 1200 feet above sea level. And by the time you get down to Jericho, fifteen or twenty minutes later, you're about 2200 feet below sea level. That's a dangerous road. In the days of Jesus it came to be known as the "Bloody Pass." And you know, it's possible that the priest and the Levite looked over that man on the ground and wondered if the robbers were still around. Or it's possible that they felt that the man on the ground was merely faking. And he was acting like he had been robbed and hurt, in order to seize them over there, lure them there for quick and easy seizure. And so the first question that the priest asked -- the first question that the Levite asked was, "If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me?" But then the Good Samaritan came by. And he reversed the question: "If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?"That's the question before you tonight. Not, "If I stop to help the sanitation workers, what will happen to my job. Not, "If I stop to help the sanitation workers what will happen to all of the hours that I usually spend in my office every day and every week as a pastor?" The question is not, "If I stop to help this man in need, what will happen to me?" The question is, "If I do not stop to help the sanitation workers, what will happen to them?" That's the question.Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness. Let us stand with agreater determination. And let us move on in these powerful days, these days of challenge to make America what it ought to be. We have an opportunity to make America a better nation. And I want to thank God, once more, for allowing me to be here with you.You know, several years ago, I was in New York City autographing the first book that I had written. And while sitting there autographing books, a demented black woman came up. The only question I heard from her was, "Are you Martin Luther King?" And I was looking down writing, and I said, "Yes." And the next minute I felt something beating on my chest. Before I knew it I had been stabbed by this demented woman. I was rushed to Harlem Hospital. It was a dark Saturday afternoon. And that blade had gone through, and the X-rays revealed that the tip of the blade was on the edge of my aorta, the main artery. And once that's punctured, your drowned in your own blood -- that's the end of you.It came out in the New York Times the next morning, that if I had merely sneezed, I would have died. Well, about four days later, they allowed me, after the operation, after my chest had been opened, and the blade had been taken out, to move around in the wheel chair in the hospital. They allowed me to read some of the mail that came in, and from all over the states and the world, kind letters came in. I read a few, but one of them I will never forget. I had received one from the Presidentand the Vice-President. I've forgotten what those telegrams said. I'd received a visit and a letter from the Governor of New York, but I've forgotten what that letter said. But there was another letter that came from a little girl, a young girl who was a student at the White Plains High School. And I looked at that letter, and I'll never forget it. It said simply, Dear Dr. King,I am a ninth-grade student at the White Plains High School."And she said,While it should not matter, I would like to mention that I'm a white girl. I read in the paper of your misfortune, and of your suffering. And I read that if you had sneezed, you would have died. And I'm simply writing you to say that I'm so happy that you didn't sneeze.And I want to say tonight -- I want to say tonight that I too am happy that I didn't sneeze. Because if I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1960, when students all over the South started sitting-in at lunch counters. And I knew that as they were sitting in, they were really standing up for the best in the American dream, and taking the whole nation back to those great wells of democracy which were dug deep by the Founding Fathers in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1961, when we decided to take a ride for freedom and ended segregation ininter-state travel.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been around here in 1962, when Negroes in Albany, Georgia, decided to straighten their backs up. And whenever men and women straighten their backs up, they are going somewhere, because a man can't ride your back unless it is bent.If I had sneezed -- If I had sneezed I wouldn't have been here in 1963, when the black people of Birmingham, Alabama, aroused the conscience of this nation, and brought into being the Civil Rights Bill.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have had a chance later that year, in August, to try to tell America about a dream that I had had.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been down in Selma, Alabama, to see the great Movement there.If I had sneezed, I wouldn't have been in Memphis to see a community rally around those brothers and sisters who are suffering.I'm so happy that I didn't sneeze.And they were telling me --. Now, it doesn't matter, now. It really doesn't matter what happens now. I left Atlanta this morning, and as we got started on the plane, there were six of us. The pilot said over the public address system, "We are sorry for the delay, but we have Dr. Martin Luther King on the plane. And to be sure that all of the bags were checked, and to be sure that nothing would be wrong with on the plane, we had to check out everything carefully. And we've had the planeprotected and guarded all night."And then I got into Memphis. And some began to say the threats, or talk about the threats that were out. What would happen to me from some of our sick white brothers?Well, I don't know what will happen now. We've got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop.And I don't mind.Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I'm not concerned about that now. I just want to do God's will. And He's allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I've looked over. And I've seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land!mlkmountaintop3.JPGAnd so I'm happy, tonight.I'm not worried about anything.I'm not fearing any man!Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!。
肯尼迪：在马丁路德金遇刺后的讲演_英语演讲稿_
肯尼迪：在马丁路德金遇刺后的讲演robert f. kennedyremarks on the assassination of martin luther king, jr.delivered 4 april 1968, indianapolis, in罗伯特·肯尼迪(robert f kennedy, 1925-1968)，美国前总统约翰·肯尼迪的弟弟。
1964年当选为纽约州参议员，1968年3月16日宣布自己的民主党提名总统候选人身份，1968年6月4日在重要的加利福尼亚州初选中旗开得胜，那天晚上他在洛杉矶大使饭店向他的拥护者们演说时，似乎正迈向民主党提名的目标，在穿过一间厨房的过道离开饭店时被一名心怀怨恨的巴勒斯坦移民开枪击中，两天后死去。
1968年4月4日，马丁·路德·金博士在孟菲斯遇刺。
那天晚上，罗伯特·肯尼迪预定要在印地安那波利斯市一个贫穷的黑人区为他争取民主党总统候选人提名的竞选运动发表演说。
警察告诫他当晚不宜去演讲，因为他们不能保证他的安全。
当他到达那个地区时，他发现听众尚未听说马丁·路德·金的遇害。
当晚他的即席讲话回顾了一名狙击手的子弹夺去他兄弟的生命后他个人的巨创深痛。
ladies and gentlemen,i'm only going to talk to you just for a minute or so this evening, because i have some -- some very sad news for all of you -- could you lower those signs, please? -- i have some very sad news for all of you, and, i think, sad news for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world; and that is that martin luther king was shot and was killed tonight in memphis, tennessee.martin luther king dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings. he died in the cause of that effort. in this difficult day, in this difficult time for the united states, it's perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. for those of you who are black --considering the evidence evidently is that there were white people who were responsible -- you can be filled with bitterness, and with hatred, and a desire for revenge.we can move in that direction as a country, in greater polarization -- black people amongst blacks, and white amongst whites, filled with hatred toward one another. or we can make an effort, as martin luther king did, to understand, and to comprehend, and replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand, compassion, and love.for those of you who are black and are tempted to fill with -- be filled with hatred and mistrust of the injustice of such an act, against all white people, i would only say that i can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. i had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man.but we have to make an effort in the united states. we have to make an effort to understand, to get beyond, or go beyond these rather difficult times.my favorite poem, my -- my favorite poet was aeschylus. and he once wrote:even in our sleep, pain which cannot forgetfalls drop by drop upon the heart,until, in our own despair,against our will,comes wisdomthrough the awful grace of god.what we need in the united states is not division; what we need in the united states is not hatred; what we need in the united states is not violence and lawlessness, but is love, and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling ofjustice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black.so i ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of martin luther king -- yeah, it's true -- but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love -- a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which i spoke.we can do well in this country. we will have difficult times. we've had difficult times in the past, but we -- and we will have difficult times in the future. it is not the end of violence; it is not the end of lawlessness; and it's not the end of disorder.but the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings that abide in our land.and let's dedicate ourselves to what the greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people.thank you very much.。
《刺杀肯尼迪》最后部分演讲
这部电影是我看过的最好的政治片之一，片长3个多小时，但是情节紧凑，每分钟都非常精彩，果然是斯通大牛的神作……最后30分钟的时候，检察官吉姆加里森在法庭上的总结陈词感情至深，让人热血沸腾，和《闻香识女人》中埃尔帕西诺的演讲有的一拼……在此添加了演讲内容中出现的人名及背景的相关详细注释，加粗的部分为讲稿内容，没有加粗的部分为注释，红色部分为本人认为非常精彩的语句。
有谁会为埋在廉价墓地里的奥斯瓦多（注：Lee Harvey Oswald，美籍古巴人，被认为是肯尼迪遇刺案的主凶。
案发两日后，奥斯瓦尔德在警察的严密戒备中当众被杰克·鲁比（Jack Ruby）开枪击毙，美国人在电视直播中也能目睹经过。
而鲁比最后也因癌症死于狱中，临死前称被人下毒才得到癌症，连番事件使肯尼迪遇刺案变得更曲折离奇）感到伤心呢？没有。
几分钟之内，关于奥斯瓦多的不实报道就传遍了全球。
传说出自政府，新闻界的消息来自政府。
当局在撒谎，史诗般壮观的肯尼迪葬礼迷惑了我们的双眼和我们的头脑。
希特勒说过：越大的谎言就越有人相信。
李哈维奥斯瓦多，一个疯狂的孤独的无名之辈，想出风头而暗杀总统，只是一长串名单中的第一个替罪羊。
而近年来，罗伯特肯尼迪（注：Robert Francis Kennedy，美国前总统约翰·肯尼迪的弟弟，1964年当选为纽约州参议员。
1968年6月初，他刚赢得了民主党加利福尼亚预选的胜利，便于6月5日早晨在洛杉矶一家旅馆内遭到枪击而死亡），马丁路德金，凡是想改革想和平的人都是渴望战争的权贵们的眼中钉。
这些人也都被疯狂的孤独的个人杀害了。
这些没有意义的个人愚蠢行为使我们毫无内疚。
我们都成了哈姆雷特，认杀父仇人为亲人，让凶手占据着皇位。
肯尼迪和他被害的秘密与我们在我们的美国梦中相遇，他向我们提出这样的问题：我们的宪法核心是什么？我们的生命价值又是什么？一个国家的总统被杀害，在诸多疑问面前，它的司法机构只会发抖，那么这个国家的民主还有希望吗？还有多少政治谋杀，将会说成是心脏病发作，将会说成是自杀、癌症和药物过量。
马丁路德金演讲稿3篇
马丁路德金演讲稿3篇马丁路德金(公元19291968年)，美国黑人律师，著名黑人民权运动领袖。
一生曾三次被捕，三次被行刺，1964年获诺贝尔和平奖。
1968年被种族主义分子枪杀。
他被誉为近百年来八大最具有说服力的演说家之一。
1963年他领导25万人向华盛顿进军大游行，为黑人争取自由平等和就业。
马丁路德金在游行集会上发表了这篇著名演说。
1XX年前，一位伟大的美国人今天我们就站在他象征性的身影下签署了《解放宣言》。
这项重要法令的颁布，对于千百万灼烤于非正义残焰中的黑奴，犹如带来希望之光的硕大灯塔，恰似结束漫漫长夜禁锢的欢畅黎明。
然而，1XX年后，黑人依然没有获得自由。
1XX年后，黑人依然悲惨地蹒跚于种族隔离和种族歧视的枷锁之下。
1XX年后，黑人依然生活在物质繁荣翰海的贫困孤岛上。
1XX年后，黑人依然在美国社会中间向隅而泣，依然感到自己在国土家园中流离漂泊。
所以，我们今天来到这里，要把这骇人听闻的情况公诸于众。
从某种意义上说，我们来到国家的首都是为了兑现一张支票。
我们共和国的缔造者在拟写宪法和独立宣言的辉煌篇章时，就签署了一张每一个美国人都能继承的期票。
这张期票向所有人承诺不论白人还是黑人都享有不可让渡的生存权、自由权和追求幸福权。
然而，今天美国显然对她的有色公民拖欠着这张期票。
美国没有承兑这笔神圣的债务，而是开始给黑人一张空头支票一张盖着资金不足的印戳被退回的支票。
但是，我们决不相信正义的银行会破产。
我们决不相信这个国家巨大的机会宝库会资金不足。
因此，我们来兑现这张支票。
这张支票将给我们以宝贵的自由和正义的保障。
我们来到这块圣地还为了提醒美国：现在正是万分紧急的时刻。
现在不是从容不迫悠然行事或服用渐进主义镇静剂的时候。
现在是实现民主诺言的时候。
现在是走出幽暗荒凉的种族隔离深谷，踏上种族平等的阳关大道的时候。
现在是使我们国家走出种族不平等的流沙，踏上充满手足之情的磐石的时候。
现在是使上帝所有孩子真正享有公正的时候。

马丁.路德.金被刺杀当晚罗伯特.肯尼迪英语演讲稿Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.
Ladies and Gentlemen: I'm only going to talk to you just for a minute or so this evening, because I have some very sad news for all of you -- Could you lower those signs, please? -- I have some very sad news for all of you, and, I think, sad news for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world; and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis, Tennessee.
Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings. He died in the cause of that effort. In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it's perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black -- considering the evidence evidently is that there were white people who were responsible -- you can be filled with bitterness, and with hatred, and a desire for revenge.
We can move in that direction as a country, in greater polarization --black people amongst blacks, and white amongst whites, filled with
hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand, and to comprehend, and replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand, compassion and love.
For those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with hatred and mistrust of the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man.
But we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make an effort to understand, to get beyond, or go beyond these rather difficult times.
My favorite poem, my favorite poet was Aeschylus. And he once wrote:
"Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
until, in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom
through the awful grace of God."
What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence and lawlessness, but is love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be black.
So I ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King --yeah, it's true --but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love -- a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke.
We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times. We've had difficult times in the past. And we will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of lawlessness; and it's not the end of disorder.
But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black people in this country want to live together, want to improve the quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings that abide in our land.
Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country and for our people.
Thank you very much.。
