第一篇：馬丁·路德·金： I've Been to the Mountaintop

Martin Luther King, Jr

“I've Been to the Mountaintop”

delivered 3 April 1968, Mason Temple(Church of God in Christ Headquarters), Memphis, Tennessee

這是馬丁.路德.金博士的最后一次演講，次日他被暗殺。在他發表這篇著名的演講的時候，他預感到了自己的命運，因為在他來孟菲斯之前已經收到了各種各樣的死亡恐嚇。但是他用行動作出了回答。他說不要問我幫了別人自己會有什么后果，而要問“如果我不幫助別人，別人會有什么后果”。

演講的題目出自《圣經》以色列人出埃及的典故，摩西帶領以色列人擺脫埃及法老的奴役，去往哪上帝應許的“流奶與蜜之地”–迦南。摩西被上帝帶到山頂上，看到了那“應許之地”(promise land)，但他卻被告知，他自己不能到達。

馬丁.路德.金說“像其他人一樣，我也想活的長一些。但是現在我不在乎這一點，我只想尊從上帝的意愿，他已經允許我站在山頂，看到了那應許之地，我也許不能和你們一起到達那里，但是今晚我要告訴大家，人民一定會到哪里!”

馬丁.路德.金是一名偉大的基督徒，傳道者。他堅持“非暴力”斗爭的原則，他用行動實踐了耶穌基督“以善勝惡”的偉大真理。金博士倒下了，愛–看起來是似乎是那么軟弱，但是40年過去了，是愛，還是“子彈”(馬爾科姆.X的著名演講《子彈還是選票》)獲得了勝利?

這篇演講中，金博士充滿了實踐神的國度的熱情，他說“我現在什么也不怕，因為我的雙眼已經見證了神的榮耀!”。我想起了愛因斯坦讀甘地傳后的感慨：后代的子孫，很難想象，在我們這個時代，曾經走過這么一位血肉之軀。

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 Aristophanes assembled 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, I will 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 of their 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 our songs.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 speaks who 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 is what 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.“

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 president and 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 in inter-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 plane protected 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!

And 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！

第二篇：馬丁·路德·金簡介

馬丁·路德·金簡介

馬丁·路德·金于1929年1月15日出生在佐治亞州亞特蘭大市的一個黑人牧師家庭。年少的金從母親那里學會了怎樣去愛、同情及理解他人；從父親那里學到的是果敢、堅強、率直和坦誠。幼小的心靈里早早地萌發了對種族歧視強烈憎恨的種子。15歲時，聰穎好學的金以優異成績連跳兩級，從高中畢業，進入摩爾豪斯學院學習，成為院長梅斯博士的高材生。在梅斯博士的教育下，金不畏強暴的思想被提高到了理論的高度。

當時美國正值戰后經濟發展的巔峰時期，強大的政治、軍事力量使它坐上了“自由世界”盟主的交椅。然而，在美國國內，曾經在戰爭期間維護過民主事業的黑人卻在經濟和政治上受到歧視和壓迫。面對丑惡、冷酷的現實，年僅17歲的金發現了自己真正的價值是“為上帝服務”，他矢志為社會平等與正義作一名牧師。1949年，他進入著名的克拉澤神學院學習兩年，獲得神學學士學位；爾后進入波士頓大學攻讀宗教學和教理神學，獲得神學博士學位。5年大學期間，他孜孜不倦地盡情遨游在人類知識的海洋中。他潛心研究過馬克思的社會主義、列寧的共產主義、法國哲學家勒努維埃的人格主義、愛爾蘭哲學家伯克利的道德理想主義。他閱讀柏拉圖、盧梭和托洛的著作，潛心鉆研過尼采的“超人”哲學和甘地的“非暴力主義”。他并非簡單地、機械地接受這些思想家的觀念，而是把它們作為可以播種自己信念的沃土，逐步形成了自己獨到的理論基礎。金認為，人人生而平等。不論男人女人、黑人白人、老人小孩和智者愚者，也不管人的愛好、資歷和財產是否相同，都是人，是能夠思維的人類大家庭中的一員，應該受到尊重。

金主張公正無私的愛、普遍的愛，愛一切人，甚至要愛敵人。“敵人不愛你，因為敵人不懂得什么是愛；我們愛敵人，是對一切人的救贖性的善良態度。” 信仰人的尊嚴和價值、基督教的普遍仁愛、甘地的不合作精神，構成了金的思想基礎和行動準則。

1955年金領導了近5萬名黑人展開了聲勢浩大的抵制公共汽車運動，迫使政府取消了運輸工具上的座位隔離制。1957年金被推舉為“南部基督教領袖聯合會”主席。為了正義與和平，他四處奔走呼號。

1963年，為了使世界人民關注美國種族隔離問題，金會同其他民權運動領袖組織發起了歷史性的“向首都華盛頓進軍”的運動，要求職業和自由。就是在這次斗爭中，金發表了他著名的演講“我有一個夢想”。這一斗爭終于使國會通過了1964年民權法案，授權聯邦政府取消公共膳宿方面的種族隔離，宣布在公營設備方面和就業方面的種族歧視為非法。他由此獲得了1964年諾貝爾和平獎。

然而，誰也沒有料到，正在金竭盡全力、孜孜不倦為實現偉大的夢想而努力奮斗、奔走呼吁的時候，1968年4月4日下午，一聲罪惡的槍響頃刻間殘酷地擊碎了他和黑人兄弟姐妹們，所有美妙的、偉大的夢想——金被謀殺了。

第三篇：馬丁.路德.金感想

由“馬丁路德金的演講稿I have a dream”所產生的感想

由“馬丁路德金的演講稿I have a dream”所產生的感想

I have a dream，這是大家都會的口頭禪，也知道是馬丁路德金在演說中講的。可是，真正聽過他的演講，看過他的演講稿，又有多少人呢？這份演講稿所傳遞的訊息，結合中國民眾現在所面臨的現實，可以明確的說：今天，我們中國民眾的命運與40多年以前美國黑人的命運擁有許多的共同點。我們民眾依然沒有真正的自由，也沒有民主，更沒有實際意義的投票權。普通的民眾個人財產得不到有效的法律保障。普通民眾的尊嚴得不到尊重。普通民眾的生存依然異常艱難。我們的政府獨裁專權，欺壓民眾，法治成為空談；官員缺乏監督，無官不貪，不斷侵食民眾利益。

同為人，我們中國人也有自己的夢想。40多年前，美國黑人民權領袖做到了，21世紀的中國民眾依然生活在沒有民權的極權社會里。是我們無能嗎？是我們不為嗎？都不是。是我們各自只顧自己，一盤散沙，被極權統治捆綁到一起，給予些許利益均占，成了既得利益者，成了維護專權的棋子，也是專權的受害者。

民權思想已經在中國民眾中扎下根，要發育成長，就要丟掉對中共專權的幻想。這樣的專權政府，缺乏監督，絕對是普通民眾的惡魔。如果民眾滿足于被利益均占所收買，那么就得用所要追求的民權與專權政府做交換。得到了些許利益賞賜，失去了的自由、民主、平等的權力，代之以壓迫與管制。

不想茍活著，就要發出聲音，手拉手，一起向前走。只有如此，才不至于落單，被專權綁架恐嚇。40多年前，黑人做到了，21世紀的中國民眾依然在為最起碼的民權而在黑暗中猶豫著，摸趴著。這對于一個有數千年文明史的民族，不是意味著我們已經落伍于世界民族之林嗎？

物質生活的改善不能取代追求民權的完善。沒有完善的民權體制，民眾的權益隨時都有可能丟失。滿足于物質生活的人們，如果沒有權益的保障，猶如圈養的羔羊，隨時都有可能作為專權官僚美味的晚餐。悲劇的災難，不斷地出現，每一件災難的后面，都牽涉到權利的腐敗，權錢的交易，貪婪的官吏，如何能解決得來民眾苦難的境遇。

制度的問題，需要民眾來推動改變。不可能單獨指望某個領導人單槍匹馬來做到。這是不可能的歷史任務。民權屬于人民，民權運動，是該由民眾一起同心協力，共同推動，直至成功。

我們中國人也擁有同樣的夢想。如今生活得到改善了，但民眾的處境依然沒有變好。我們需要推動民眾權益的進步，才能維護改革開放給民眾帶來的好處。如果我們不做，如果我們繼續軟弱，貪污腐敗的官吏，專權的政府，就會不斷地蠶食侵吞民眾的物質積蓄。

我們做得到嗎？你愿意嗎？請問問自己，多多跟身邊的人談起。

國家是我們的，我們是國家的公民，但我們還沒有培育好公民意識，而是被專權政黨教育成了順從的p民。但是，追求民權的運動，不需要訴諸暴力，因為我們不是暴民，我們追求的是民權，就要用民權的方式達到目的。

任何事情，一旦采用暴力，必然是一場雙輸的游戲。我們不需要暴力，我們更需要抵制暴力。但是，我們也不要害怕暴力，因為專權政府每一次的暴力，每一次的壓制，都意味著他們民意的減去。我們要相信暴力，壓制是不可能持續的、不可能長久的。我們要有這個希望，這個耐心，也要有這個勇氣。任何被侵犯的民眾，都是我們民眾的一員，他們的任何遭遇，都是我們更加需要追求民權的動力。因此，他們的遭遇不是孤立的事件，我們不要讓受害者感到孤單。

我們在追求民權，就要作出不同于以往的改變。只有改變我們追求的方式，持之以恒，才能迫使專權政府作出改變。我們不要指望政府會主動改變，沒有民眾的推動，專權的官員樂于享受獨斷的權利所帶來的好處。這好處是建立在廣大受苦受虐的民眾遭遇上。

民權屬于民眾，民眾在追求民權的運動中，都是這場運動的主人。在追求民主、自由、平等的民權路上，我們要團結，我們要吶喊，直到我們實現的那一天，需要每個人的參與，每個人的貢獻。

第四篇：馬丁.路德金名言

馬丁路德金名言(一)

倘若人民之中有一部分被壓榨受欺凌、被迫犯罪或站在社會的對立面，我們就不能擁有一個有序健康的國家。

倘若有一大群人經濟落后，貧困潦倒，我們就不能真正繁榮昌盛。

當我們嚴陣以待，保衛我們的民主不受外國的攻擊時，我們也要關注在國內賦予全體國民越來越多的公平與自由。

人本身就是目的，因為人是上帝的兒女。人不是為了國家而創造，正相反，國家是應該為人服務的。

馬丁路德金名言(二)

價值觀的真正改變，意味著我們必須忠誠于全世界全人類，而不是只是關注自己的國家。每個國家都要發揚超過國家界限的忠誠，這樣所有的國家才能呈現出自己最好的一面。

每當有事情發生的時候，懦夫會問：“這么做，安全嗎?”患得患失的人會問：“這么做，明智嗎?”虛榮的人會問：“這么做，受人歡迎嗎?”但是，良知只會問：“這么做，正確嗎?”正義是不分國家疆界的，任何地方的不公正不平等，都是對其他地方公平公正的威脅。

你不愿為正義挺身而出的一刻，你已經死去。你不愿為真理挺身而出的一刻，你已經死去。你不愿為公正挺身而出的一刻，你已經死去。

請你們告訴自己，無論如何也都不要忘記那些生活在社會底層的窮苦的人??如果美國不以其財富拯救窮人，最終也要下地獄。如果不把它巨大的資源和財富用來消除貧困，讓所有的上帝子民都有飯吃有衣穿，美國也要下地獄。

馬丁路德金名言(三)

一個偉大的國家必然是充滿愛心的國家，一個不關心弱勢群體的人不可能成為偉人，而一個不關心貧困人群的國家也不可能成為偉大的國家。

不抵抗和非暴力兩者有很大不同。我當然不是叫你們逆來順受??你們要站起來，昂首挺胸，全力對抗一個萬惡的體制，你們不是膽小鬼。你們要抗爭，同時認識到，非暴力的斗爭方式在策略上和道德上都更加有益。

還要等多久?快了，因為被踐踏的真理必將重見天日。還要等多久?快了，因為沒有什么謊言能夠長盛不衰。

一個真正的領導者并不是追求所有人的支持和認同，而是努力去促成各方達成一致。

我們肩負使命，要為弱者說話，為默默無聞的人說話，為我們國家的受害者說話，為這個國家稱之為敵人的人說話，因為沒有任何出自人類之手的文件，能夠使他們成為不值得我們珍惜的人!擴展閱讀:馬丁路德金名言英文翻譯

1、In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.在最后，我們會記得的不是敵人的話語，而是朋友們的沉默。

2、I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for the law.我提出：一個違反良心告訴他那是不公正法律的人，并且他愿意接受牢獄的刑罰，以喚起社會的良心認識到那是不正義的，實際上他表現了對法律的最高敬意。

3、The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.對一個人的終極衡量，不在于他所曾擁有的片刻安逸，而在于他處于挑戰與爭議的時代。

4、a man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.一個沒有立場的人總是相信任何事。

5、We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.我們必須接受失望，因為它是有限的，但千萬不可失去希望，因為它是無限的。

6、In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies but the silence of our friends.最終，我們記得的不是我們敵人的話語，而是我們朋友的沉默。

第五篇：我有一個夢想 馬丁.路德.金

Lesson 15 I Have A Dream by Martin Luther King

我有一個夢想 馬丁.路德.金 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 wil1 rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: “We hold these truths to be self-evident;that all men are created equa1.”

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former s1aveowners 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 desert 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, every hill and mountain shall be made low, and rough places will be made plane and 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 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 free one day.Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado!

Let freedom ring from the curvaceous slopes 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!

1963年8月28日 朋友們，今天我要對你們說，盡管今天和明天困難重重，但我依然懷有一個夢。這個夢深植于美國夢之中。

我夢想有一天，這個國家將會奮起，實現其立國信條的真諦：“我們認為這些真理不言而喻：人人生而平等。”

我夢想有一天，在佐治亞州的紅色山岡上，昔日奴隸的兒子能夠同昔日奴隸主的兒子同席而坐，親如手足；

我夢想有一天甚至連密西西比州，一個非正義和壓迫的熱浪逼人的荒漠之州，也會改造成自由和公正的青青綠洲；

我夢想有一天,我的四個小兒女將生活在一個不是以膚色，而是以品格的優劣作為評判標準的國家里；我今天懷有一個夢。

我夢想有一天，亞拉巴馬州會有所改變--盡管那兒種族主義者猖獗，盡管該州州長仍在滔滔不絕地說什么要對聯邦法令提出異議和拒絕執行，但總有一天，那兒的黑人兒童能夠與白人兒童兄弟姐妹般地攜手并行；我今天懷有一個夢。我夢想有一天，深谷彌合，高山夷平，崎路化坦途，曲徑成通衢，上帝的光華再現，普天下生靈共謁。

這就是我們的希望，這就是我將帶回南方去的信念。有了這個信念，我們就能從絕望之山開采出希望之石。有了這個信念，我們就能把這個國家嘈雜刺耳的爭吵聲，變為充滿手足之情的悅耳交響曲。有了這個信念，我們就能一同工作，一同祈禱，一同斗爭，一同入獄，一同維護自由。因為我們知道，我們終有一天會獲得自由。讓自由之聲響徹科羅拉多白雪皚皚的洛基山！讓自由之聲響徹加利福尼亞州的婀娜群峰！不，不僅如此；讓自由之聲響徹佐治亞州的石山！讓自由之聲響徹田納西州的瞭望山！

讓自由之聲響徹密西西比州的一座座山峰，一個個土丘。讓自由之聲響徹每一個山岡！
