Martin Luther King马丁路德金

Montgomery Bus Boycott, 1955
In March 1955, a fifteen-year-old school girl, Claudette Colvin, refused to give up her bus seat to a white man in compliance with the Jim Crow laws. King was on the committee from the Birmingham African-American community that looked into the case; Edgar Nixon and Clifford Durr decided to wait for a better case to pursue. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat. The Montgomery Bus Boycott, urged and planned by Nixon and led by King, soon followed.The boycott lasted for 385 days, and the situation became so tense that King's house was bombed. King was arrested during this campaign, which ended with a United States District Court ruling in Browder v. Gayle that ended racial segregation on all Montgomery public buses.

马丁·路德·金《我有一个梦想》英文版和翻译

想》英文版和翻译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've 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 marked "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've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the securityof 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. And 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. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until thehave 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 the Negro's basic mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a larger one. We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their selfhood and robbed of their dignity by signs stating "for whites only." We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in NewYork 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. And some of you have come from areas where your quest -- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution 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 adream 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 owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of 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 nation where they will not be 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, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of"interposition" and "nullification" -- one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white 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 hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight; "and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together."?This is our hope, and this is the faith that I go back to the South with.With this faith, we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith, we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be freeone day. And this will be the day -- this will be the day when all of God's children 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, land of the Pilgrim's pride,From every mountainside, let freedom ring! And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true.And so let freedom 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 of Pennsylvania.Let freedom ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado.Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes of California.But not only that:Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain ofGeorgia.Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi.From every mountainside, let freedom ring. And when this happens, when we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual:Free at last! free at last!Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!编辑本段中文翻译100年前,一位伟大的美国人签署了解放黑奴宣言,今天我们就是在他的雕像前集会。

马丁.路德.金被刺杀当晚罗伯特.肯尼迪英语演讲稿

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 withhatred 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 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 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.。

马丁路德金遇刺演讲
He had seen the Promised Land. And while he knew...
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.。

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.。

肯尼迪总统关于马丁路德金遇害的讲话

Remarks on the Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr.肯尼迪总统关于马丁·路德·金遇害的讲话Robert F. KennedyLadies 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 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 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 beingsthat 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.

“We have got some difficult days ahead…Like anybody I would like to live a long life…but I’m not concerned about that now…I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you but I want you to know that we as a people will get to the promised land.”
The Assassination of Martin Luther King 1968
Aims:

Examine the impact of the assassination of Martin Luther King in 1968.
Changing Support
By the late 1960s Martin Luther King’s popularity was decreasing:
He
was less popular among young Blacks who were attracted to the Black Panthers
He
criticised the USA’s involvement in the Vietnam war.
He
criticised the government for failing to spend enough money to help the poor.
March in Memphis, 1968



In 1968 King was planning another march on Washington – a Poor Peoples’ March – to protest about poverty in cities. In April, he went to Memphis, Tennessee to support a strike by rubbish collectors – most of whom were black and poorly paid. The night before the march he made his last public speech.
“The American Negro is neither totally African nor totally western. He is AfroAmerican…a combination of two cultures…The solution to our problem will not come through seeking to build a separate nation within a nation…America must be a nation in which its people are partners in power.”
Assassination





Shortly after making this speech Martin Luther King stood on the balcony of his motel room. At this moment an escaped convict called James Earl Ray shot him in the neck. He died shortly afterwards in hospital – he was 39 years old. Riots erupted in 168 US cities. 70,000 US troops were needed to restore order. The non-violent Civil Rights Movement came to an end with the death of Martin Luther King.



James Earl Ray was convicted of King’s murder and sentenced to 99 years in prison. But he later retracted his confession and said he had been only a minor player in a conspiracy. However, his appeals for a new trial were rejected and he died in prison in 1998. Ray was supported by some members of Martin Luther King's family who believed the US Government may have been involved in Dr King's death. However, in June 2000 after an investigation the US Justice Department said it had uncovered no reliable evidence of a conspiracy.
Despite increasing pressures Martin Luther King never changed his views; he still believed in non-violence and he believed the support of whites was essential if more civil rights were to be won. King believed that the USA needed to be an integrated society.
‘He gave people a dream to live for’ Jesse Haley, Friend of Martin Luther King
