马丁·路德·金英文演讲：我已达至峰顶

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."
