正文如下:
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
1
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.
In a sense we have 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. So we
have come to cash this check — a check that will give us
upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of
2
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 p
ath of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our
nation from the quick sands 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.
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. 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.
