I HAVE A DREAM
1. Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand, 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 captivity.
2. But one hundred years later, the we must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly अफसोस crippled by the manacles of segregation and 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 languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.
3. It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honouring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro People a bed cheque which has come back marked 'insufficient funds'. But we refuse to believe that bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great of opportunity of the nation. So we have come to cash this cheque- a cheque that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security if justice. We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now. This is no to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to 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.
4. It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment and to underestimate the determination of the Negro. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating स्फूर्तिदायक autumn पतझड़ 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 जगाना if the nation returns to business as usual. Negro is grated his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds आंधी में होके of revolt विद्रोह will continue to shake एक प्रकार के बरतन the foundations नींव of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
5. But, there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold द्वार which leads into the palace महल 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 अप्रसन्नता and hatred घृणा.
