- 1:04[Applause]
- 1:07I am happy to join with you
- 1:11today in what will go down in
- 1:16history as the greatest demonstration
- 1:20for freedom in the history of our
- 1:28nation
- 1:32five score years
- 1:36ago a great American in whose symbolic
- 1:40Shadow We Stand
- 1:42today signed the Emancipation
- 1:48Proclamation this momentous decree
- 1:52came as a great Beacon Light Of Hope to
- 1:55millions of negro
- 1:58slaves who had been seared in the Flames
- 2:01of withering
- 2:04Injustice it came as a joyous
- 2:08Daybreak to end the long night of their
- 2:14captivity but 100 years
- 2:19later the Negro
- 2:22still is not
- 2:25free 100 years
- 2:28later the the life of the Negro is still
- 2:32sadly crippled by the manacles of
- 2:36segregation and the chains of
- 2:39discrimination 100 years
- 2:42later the Negro lives on a lonely island
- 2:46of
- 2:47poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of
- 2:51material Prosperity 100 years
- 2:58later the the Negro is still languished
- 3:02in the corners of American
- 3:04society and finds himself in Exile in
- 3:08his own
- 3:09land and so we've come here
- 3:12today to dramatize the shameful
- 3:17condition inoc since we've come to our
- 3:20nation's capital to cash a
- 3:23check when The Architects of our
- 3:27Republic wrote The Magnificent words of
- 3:30the Constitution and the Declaration of
- 3:34Independence they were signing a
- 3:36promisory
- 3:38note to which every American was to fall
- 3:42out this note was a promise that all
- 3:46men yes black men as well as white
- 3:51men would be guaranteed the unalienable
- 3:54rights of life
- 3:56liberty and the pursuit of happiness
- 4:01it is obvious
- 4:03today that America has defaulted on this
- 4:06promisory note in so far as her citizens
- 4:10of color are
- 4:12concerned instead of honoring this
- 4:16sacred
- 4:18obligation America has given the Negro
- 4:21people a bad check a check which has
- 4:24come back Mark insufficient
- 4:28f
- 4:39but we refuse to believe that the bank
- 4:42of justice is
- 4:46bankrupt we refuse to believe that that
- 4:49are insufficient funds and the great
- 4:51fults of opportunity of this nation so
- 4:55we've come to cash this check a check
- 4:57that will give us upon p Dem man The
- 5:00Riches of freedom and the security of
- 5:07[Applause]
- 5:12Justice we have also come to this h of
- 5:17spot to remind America of the fierce
- 5:21urgency of
- 5:23now this is no
- 5:26time to engage in the luxury of cooling
- 5:30off or to take the tranquilizing drug of
- 5:36[Applause]
- 5:39gradualism now is the time yes it is to
- 5:42make real the promises of
- 5:45democracy now is the time to rise from
- 5:50the dark and desolate Valley of
- 5:52segregation to the sunlet path of racial
- 5:55Justice now is the
- 5:58time
- 6:01to liftt our nation from the quick Sands
- 6:03of racial Injustice to the solid rock of
- 6:06Brotherhood now is the time
- 6:11now to make Justice a reality for all of
- 6:14God's
- 6:15children it would be fatal for the
- 6:19nation to overlook the urgency of the
- 6:23moment this sweltering Summit of the
- 6:26negro's legitimate
- 6:28discontent will will not pass until that
- 6:32is an invigorating Alum of freedom and
- 6:35equality 1963 is not an end but a
- 6:40beginning those who hope that the Negro
- 6:44needed to blow off
- 6:45steam and will now be content will have
- 6:49a rude awakening if the nation returns
- 6:52to business as
- 6:58usual
- 7:03[Applause]
- 7:08and there will be neither rest nor
- 7:10Tranquility in
- 7:12America until the Negro has granted his
- 7:15citizenship rights the whirlwinds or
- 7:18Revolt will continue to shake the
- 7:20foundations of our nation until the
- 7:23bright day of Justice
- 7:26emerges but that is something that I
- 7:28must say to my
- 7:30people who stand on the warm threshold
- 7:34which leads into the Palace of
- 7:37Justice in the process of gaining our
- 7:40rightful
- 7:41place we must not be guilty of wrongful
- 7:46Deeds let us not seek to satisfy our
- 7:49thirst for Freedom by drinking from the
- 7:52cup of bitterness and
- 7:56[Applause]
- 7:58hatred
- 8:03we must forever conduct our struggle on
- 8:05the high plane of dignity and
- 8:08discipline we must not allow our created
- 8:12protests to degenerate into physical
- 8:15violence again and
- 8:17again we must rise to the Majestic
- 8:21Heights of meeting physical force with
- 8:24soul
- 8:25Force The Marvelous new
- 8:27militancy which has engulfed the Negro
- 8:31Community must not lead us to a distrust
- 8:34of all white people for many of our
- 8:36White Brothers as evidenced by their
- 8:38presence here today have come to realize
- 8:41that their Destiny is tied up with our
- 8:53destiny and they have come to realize
- 8:55that their freedom is inextricably bound
- 8:58to our freedom Freedom we cannot walk
- 9:02alone and as we
- 9:05walk we must make the pledge that we
- 9:08shall always March
- 9:11ahead we cannot turn
- 9:14back there are those who are asking the
- 9:16devotes of civil
- 9:18rights when will you be
- 9:22satisfied we can never be satisfied as
- 9:25long as the Negro is the V victim of the
- 9:27Unspeakable Horrors of police
- 9:30brutality we can never be
- 9:34satisfied as long as our bod is heavy
- 9:37with the fatigue of
- 9:38travel cannot gain lodging in the motels
- 9:42of the highways and the hotels of the
- 9:45[Applause]
- 9:48Cities we cannot be
- 9:51satisfied as long as the negro's basic
- 9:54Mobility is from a smaller ghetto to a
- 9:57larger
- 9:58one we can never be satisfied as long as
- 10:02our children are stripped of their
- 10:03selfhood and robbed of their dignity by
- 10:06sign stating for whites
- 10:09[Applause]
- 10:14only we cannot be satisfied as long as a
- 10:18negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a
- 10:21negro in New York believes he has
- 10:23nothing for which to
- 10:28vote
- 10:33no no we are not satisfied and we will
