第一篇：马丁路德金的演讲稿
马丁路德金的演讲稿.txt15成熟的麦子低垂着头，那是在教我们谦逊；一群蚂蚁能抬走大骨头，那是在教我们团结；温柔的水滴穿岩石，那是在教我们坚韧；蜜蜂在花丛中忙碌，那是在教我们勤劳。Have a Dream by Martin Luther King, Jr.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 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 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.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 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 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 free one 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 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.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!
我今天怀有一个梦。
我梦想有一天，深谷弥合，高山夷平，歧路化坦途，曲径成通衢，上帝的光华再现，普天下生灵共谒。这是我们的希望。这是我将带回南方去的信念。有了这个信念，我们就能从绝望之山开采出希望之石。有了这个信念，我们就能把这个国家的嘈杂刺耳的争吵声，变为充满手足之情的悦耳交响曲。有了这个信念，我们就能一同工作，一同祈祷，一同斗争，一同入狱，一同维护自由，因为我们知道，我们终有一天会获得自由。
到了这一天，上帝的所有孩子都能以新的含义高唱这首歌：
我的祖国，可爱的自由之邦，我为您歌唱。这是我祖先终老的地方，这是早期移民自豪的地方，让自由之声，响彻每一座山岗。如果美国要成为伟大的国家，这一点必须实现。因此，让自由之声响彻新罕布什尔州的巍峨高峰！
让自由之声响彻纽约州的崇山峻岭！
让自由之声响彻宾夕法尼亚州的阿勒格尼高峰！
让自由之声响彻科罗拉多州冰雪皑皑的洛基山！
让自由之声响彻加利福尼亚州的婀娜群峰！
不，不仅如此；让自由之声响彻佐治亚州的石山！
让自由之声响彻田纳西州的望山！
让自由之声响彻密西西比州的一座座山峰，一个个土丘！
让自由之声响彻每一个山岗！
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 free one 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 of Georgia.Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee.

第五篇：《马丁路德金》读后感
为了心中的理想
——读《马丁.路德.金传》有感
马丁·路德·金（1929-1968）美国黑人民权运动领袖，浸礼会教堂牧师，非暴力主义者，1964年诺贝尔和平奖获得者。马丁·路德·金极具演说才能，他最有影响力且最为人知的演讲是《我有一个梦想》，导致美国国会在1964年通过《民权法案》宣布种族隔离和歧视政策为非法政策。他著有《奔向自由》《我们为何不能再等待》《我们前往何处：混乱还是和谐？》等著作。其思想对20世纪60年代美国黑人民权运动产生了重大影响。1968年4月4日，马丁·路德·金被刺身亡，终年39岁。
克莱伯恩·卡森博士是知名历史学教授，曾撰写编辑多部民权运动著作，声誉卓著。因此马丁·路德·金博士遗产委员会推选其整理出版金博士的文献。这些具有极高历史价值的记录及文稿，包括那些未经发表的手稿、书信、录音带和录像带，卡森博士巧妙经营，将之化为令人过目难忘的马丁·路德·金的自画像。书中，金饱含深情生动地道出了他作为学生、牧师、丈夫、父亲和著名领袖人物的一生。同时，也为读者展现出了一个国家和他的人民面对巨大变革时的那段历史，令人感念不已。
这是一本很好的自传，阐述了另外一种基督徒的生活，马丁路德金一直是美国黑人民权运动的领袖，他没有将眼光只着眼于基督教内部，而是走出去做盐做光，被社会的发展做出了巨大的贡献。这本书让我知道了他是一个有着生命深度的人，他学问渊博，演讲激情澎湃，品德高尚，最重要的是，他是一个对耶稣基督忠诚一辈子的人。我喜欢他第一次讲道的内容：生命的三个层面，个人的层面，个人与其它人关系的层面，与神的关系的层面，这真的非常启发我。让我对爱人如己有了更加深入的理解。
在“隔离但平等”的童年里，母亲告诉金，你不比任何其他人差。童年亲密无间的白人玩伴，在进入种族隔离学校后，友谊破裂，这是金有生以来第一次意识到种族问题的存在。“我如何能爱一个仇恨我的种族，他们破坏了我和我童年时期最好的朋友之间的友情。”在读书求知的岁月里，梭罗的《论公民的不服从》给了金莫大的启蒙，随后接触尼采、马克思、霍布斯、卢梭等人学说中，历经多次动摇，直到在甘地身上，找到了理解、应对现实的满意答案。但是，对于自己的思想嬗变，有一点没有说清楚，那便是宗教的力量，这才是至始至终贯穿金一生的灵魂，在一个清教徒立国的传统下，在一个牧师父亲的熏陶下，造就了金的精神生命。宗教赋予他安身立命的灵魂，甘地的所做，其实仅仅让他看到了一条有别于暴力和反抗的道路之可行性。
在金的领导下，全美国的黑人参与了午餐柜台前的静坐、前往密西西比的自由乘车、佐治亚州奥尔巴尼的和平抗议、亚拉巴马州蒙哥马利的公共汽车抵制运动„„蒙哥马利运动带来了1957年和1960年的民权法，伯明翰斗争产生了1964年民权法，在塞尔玛诞生了1965年选举法。
他说，“我不知道现在会发生什么。前方的路并不平坦„„像其他人一样，我也希望活得长久——长寿值得向往。但是，我现在关心的不是这件事情。我只想履行上帝的意愿。他曾让我走向顶峰，在那里我放眼望去，看到上帝的应许之地。也许我无法和你们一起到达那里。但是今晚我想让你们知道，我们作为一个民族，一定会进入应许之地。”
从他身上，我第一次感受到了信仰的魄力，那是种精神的信念，那种力量是巨大的，超乎人的想象，那是一种执着，为了心中的梦想，为了那个美好的世界，甘愿付出一切。每个人的心中都拥有梦想，都有种信仰，有份执着，为了实现心中的那一片美好的世界，我也会和这位伟大的梦想者一样，为之不懈的奋斗！
