Five score years ago a great American |
[00:06.57] |
In whose symbolic shadow we stand |
[00:09.63] |
Today signed the Emancipation Proclamation |
[00:17.61] |
This momentous decree came as a great |
[00:21.46] |
Beacon light of hope to millions of |
[00:24.67] |
Negro slaves who had been seared |
[00:28.70] |
In the flames of withering injustice |
[00:33.73] |
It came as a |
[00:35.23] |
Joyous daybreak to end the long night |
[00:40.29] |
Of their captivity |
[00:44.07] |
But one hundred years later the |
[00:49.05] |
Negro still is not free |
[00:55.05] |
One hundred years later |
[00:58.62] |
The life of the Negro is still sadly |
[01:01.52] |
Crippled by the manacles of segregation |
[01:06.02] |
And the chains of discrimination |
[01:09.32] |
One hundred years later |
[01:12.63] |
The Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty |
[01:17.52] |
In the midst of a vast |
[01:18.63] |
Ocean of material prosperity |
[01:22.17] |
One hundred years later |
[01:28.80] |
The Negro is still languished in the |
[01:31.60] |
Corners of American society |
[01:34.74] |
And finds himself an exile in his own land |
[01:37.24] |
And so we've come |
[01:39.49] |
Here today to dramatize a shameful condition |
[01:47.29] |
In a sense we've come to our nation's capital |
[01:50.19] |
To cash a check When the architects of our |
[01:55.37] |
Tepublic wrote the magnificent words |
[01:59.47] |
Of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence |
[02:04.82] |
They were signing a promissory note |
[02:09.04] |
To which every American was to fall heir |
[02:13.38] |
This note was a promise that all men |
[02:17.31] |
Yes black men as well as white men |
[02:21.82] |
Would be guaranteed the |
[02:23.67] |
Unalienable Rights of Life Liberty |
[02:27.27] |
And the pursuit of Happiness |
[02:30.66] |
It is obvious today that |
[02:34.08] |
America has defaulted on this promissory note |
[02:37.69] |
Insofar as her citizens of color are concerned |
[02:43.36] |
Instead of honoring this sacred obligation |
[02:48.82] |
America has given the Negro people a bad check |
[02:53.39] |
A check which has come back marked insufficient funds |
[05:38.97] |
|
[05:40.09] |
But we refuse to believe that |
[05:40.68] |
