[精品] i have a dream speech

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. So we've come here today to dramatize a shameful Condition.

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come from areas where your 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. Us not wallow in the valley of despair.

I say to you today, my friends, 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, live up to 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 children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color if 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 governor having his lips dripping with the words of interposition and nullification, one day right down 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, 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. 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 With 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 free together, knowing that we will be free one 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 pilgrims' pride,

From every mountainside

Let freedom ring.

And if America is to be a great nation this must become true. 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 snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slops of California!

But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!

Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee!

Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi!

From every mountainside, let freedom ring!

When we let 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!"

I have a dream

A hundred years ago, a great American signed the Declaration of Emancipation of the Blacks. Today we are gathering in front of his statue. This solemn declaration is like the light of a lighthouse, bringing hope to millions of black slaves who are suffering in the fire of injustice that destroys life. It came like a happy dawn, ending the long night of blacking the blacks.

However, one hundred years later, the blacks have not yet been free. Today, one hundred years later, under the shackles of racial segregation and racial discrimination, the lives of black people are being crushed. Today, one hundred years later, blacks still live on a poor island in a sea of ​​material wealth. Today, a hundred years later, blacks are still shrinking in the corners of American society, and they realize that they are exiles in their homeland. Today we are gathering here to make this horrible situation public.

I have not noticed that some of the people who participated in today’s rally have suffered and tortured. Some have just stepped out of the narrow cell, some have sought liberty, have been struck by the persecution of the early persecution, and have a whirlwind in police brutality. Shaking in the middle. You are long-term victims of human suffering. Stick to it, and firmly believe that it is a kind of atonement to endure the pain that should not be obtained.

Let's go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, and go back to the slums and ghettos in our northern cities. It is necessary to know that this situation can and will change. Let us not fall into despair and not extricate ourselves.

Dear friends, I am telling you today that at this moment, despite all the difficulties and setbacks, I still have a dream. This dream is deeply rooted in the dream of the United States.

I dream that one day, this country will stand up and truly realize the true meaning of its creed: "We believe that these truths are self-evident; people are equal in life."

I have a dream that one day, on the Red Mountains of Georgia, the sons of the former slaves will be able to sit down with the sons of the former slave owners and share the brotherhood.

I have a dream that one day, even Mississippi’s just disappearance, oppression, and desert-like places will become an oasis of freedom and justice.

I have a dream that one day my four children will live in a country that is not judged by their skin color, but by their character.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day, Alabama will be able to change, even though the governor of the state is still full of dissent and against federal decrees, but one day, black boys and girls there will be able to share the same feelings with white boys and girls. Go ahead.

I have a dream today.

I have a dream that one day, the valley rises, the mountains fall, the twists and turns of the road become a smooth road, the light is revealed, and the people are shining.

This is our hope. I returned to the South with this belief. With this conviction, we will be able to draw a stone of hope from the mountains of despair. With this conviction, we will be able to transform the harsh quarrel of this country into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this conviction, we will be able to work together, pray together, fight together, go to jail together, and maintain freedom together; because we know that one day we will be free.

On the day of freedom, all the children of God will sing this song in a new meaning: "My country, the beautiful land of freedom, I sing for you. You are the place where your father died, you are the first immigrant The pride of freedom makes the voice of freedom resound through every hill."

If the United States wants to be a great country, this dream must be realized. Let freedom ring from the peaks of New Hampshire! Let freedom ring from the mountains of New York! Let freedom ring from the summit of Allegheny, Pennsylvania! Let freedom of voice from Colorado The snow-covered Rocky Mountains are ringing! Let freedom ring from the peaks of California's hustle and bustle! Not only that, but let the voice of freedom ring from the rocky mountains of Georgia! Let the voice of freedom ring from the lookout of Tennessee Get up! Let the voice of freedom ring from every hill in Mississippi! Let the voice of freedom ring from every hillside.

When we let the voice of freedom ring and let freedom ring from every village, every state, and every city, we will be able to accelerate this day, when all the children of God, blacks and whites, Jews and non-Jews, Protestants and Catholics have joined hands to sing an old black soul song: "Finally free! Finally free! Thank God Almighty, we are finally free!"
