< br>演讲稿

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

bad 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

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 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.

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

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

forever

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

up

with

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
