As I listened to Ralph Abernat
2、hy 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
3、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
4、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
5、 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
6、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
7、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
8、 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 th
9、irties, 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 ha
10、lf 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 Go
11、d 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
12、York City; Atlanta, Georgia; Jackson, Mississippi; or Memphis, Tennessee - the cry is always the same: We want to be free. And another reason that I m happy to live in this period is that we have been forced to a point where we are going to have to grapple with the problems that men have been trying
13、 to grapple with through history, but the demands didn t force them to do it. Survival demands that we grapple with them. Men, for years now, have been talking about war and peace. But now, no longer can they just talk about it. It is no longer a choice between violence and nonviolence in this world
14、; it s nonviolence or nonexistence. That is where we are today. And also in the human rights revolution, if something isn t done, and done in a hurry, to bring the colored peoples of the world out of their long years of poverty, their long years of hurt and neglect, the whole world is doomed. Now, I
15、 m just happy that God has allowed me to live in this period to see what is unfolding. And I m happy that He s allowed me to be in Memphis. I can remember - I can remember when Negroes were just going around as Ralph has said, so often, scratching where they didn t itch, and laughing when they were
16、not tickled. But that day is all over. We mean business now, and we are determined to gain our rightful place in God s world. And that s all this whole thing is about. We aren t engaged in any negative protest and in any negative arguments with anybody. We are saying that we are determined to be men
17、. We are determined to be people. We are saying - We are saying that we are God s children. And that we are God s children, we don t have to live like we are forced to live. Now, what does all of this mean in this great period of history? It means that we ve got to stay together. We ve got to stay t
18、ogether and maintain unity. You know, whenever Pharaoh wanted to prolong the period of slavery in Egypt, he had a favorite, favorite formula for doing it. What was that? He kept the slaves fighting among themselves. But whenever the slaves get together, something happens in Pharaoh s court, and he c
19、annot hold the slaves in slavery. When the slaves get together, that s the beginning of getting out of slavery. Now let us maintain unity. Secondly, let us keep the issues where they are. The issue is injustice. The issue is the refusal of Memphis to be fair and honest in its dealings with its publi
20、c servants, who happen to be sanitation workers. Now, we ve got to keep attention on that. That s always the problem with a little violence. You know what happened the other day, and the press dealt only with the window-breaking. I read the articles. They very seldom got around to mentioning the fac
21、t that one thousand, three hundred sanitation workers are on strike, and that Memphis is not being fair to them, and that Mayor Loeb is in dire need of a doctor. They didn t get around to that. Now we re going to march again, and we ve got to march again, in order to put the issue where it is suppos
22、ed to be - and force everybody to see that there are thirteen hundred of God s children here suffering, sometimes going hungry, going through dark and dreary nights wondering how this thing is going to come out. That s the issue. And we ve got to say to the nation: We know how it s coming out. For w
23、hen people get caught up with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping point short of victory. We aren t going to let any mace stop us. We are masters in our nonviolent movement in disarming police forces; they don t know what to do. I ve seen them so often.
24、 I remember in Birmingham, Alabama, when we were in that majestic struggle there, we would move out of the 16th Street Baptist Church day after day; by the hundreds we would move out. And Bull Connor would tell them to send the dogs forth, and they did come; but we just went before the dogs singing,
25、 Ain t gonna let nobody turn me around. Bull Connor next would say, Turn the fire hoses on. And as I said to you the other night, Bull Connor didn t know history. He knew a kind of physics that somehow didn t relate to the transphysics that we knew about. And that was the fact that there was a certa
26、in kind of fire that no water could put out. And we went before the fire hoses; we had known water. If we were Baptist or some other denominations, we had been immersed. If we were Methodist, and some others, we had been sprinkled, but we knew water. That couldn t stop us. And we just went on before
27、 the dogs and we would look at them; and we d go on before the water hoses and we would look at it, and we d just go on singing Over my head I see freedom in the air. And then we would be thrown in the paddy wagons, and sometimes we were stacked in there like sardines in a can. And they would throw
28、us in, and old Bull would say, Take em off, and they did; and we would just go in the paddy wagon singing, We Shall Overcome. And every now and then we d get in jail, and we d see the jailers looking through the windows being moved by our prayers, and being moved by our words and our songs. And ther
29、e was a power there which Bull Connor couldn t adjust to; and so we ended up transforming Bull into a steer, and we won our struggle in Birmingham. Now we ve got to go on in Memphis just like that. I call upon you to be with us when we go out Monday. Now about injunctions: We have an injunction and
30、we re going into court tomorrow morning to fight this illegal, unconstitutional injunction. All we say to America is, Be true to what you said on paper. If I lived in China or even Russia, or any totalitarian country, maybe I could understand some of these illegal injunctions. Maybe I could understa
31、nd the denial of certain basic First Amendment privileges, because they hadn t committed themselves to that over there. But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America
32、 is the right to protest for right. And so just as I say, we aren t going to let dogs or water hoses turn us around, we aren t going to let any injunction turn us around. We are going on. We need all of you. And you know what s beautiful to me is to see all of these ministers of the Gospel. It s a m
33、arvelous picture. Who is it that is supposed to articulate the longings and aspirations of the people more than the preacher? Somehow the preacher must have a kind of fire shut up in his bones. And whenever injustice is around he tell it. Somehow the preacher must be an Amos, and saith, When God spe
34、aks who can but prophesy? Again with Amos, Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. Somehow the preacher must say with Jesus, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me, and he s anointed me to deal with the problems of the poor. And I want to com
35、mend the preachers, under the leadership of these noble men: James Lawson, one who has been in this struggle for many years; he s been to jail for struggling; he s been kicked out of Vanderbilt University for this struggle, but he s still going on, fighting for the rights of his people. Reverend Ral
36、ph Jackson, Billy Kiles; I could just go right on down the list, but time will not permit. But I want to thank all of them. And I want you to thank them, because so often, preachers aren t concerned about anything but themselves. And I m always happy to see a relevant ministry. It s all right to tal
37、k about long white robes over yonder, in all of its symbolism. But ultimately people want some suits and dresses and shoes to wear down here! It s all right to talk about streets flowing with milk and honey, but God has commanded us to be concerned about the slums down here, and his children who can
38、 t eat three square meals a day. It s all right to talk about the new Jerusalem, but one day, God s preacher must talk about the new New York, the new Atlanta, the new Philadelphia, the new Los Angeles, the new Memphis, Tennessee. This is what we have to do. Now the other thing we ll have to do is t
39、his: Always anchor our external direct action with the power of economic withdrawal. Now, we are poor people. Individually, we are poor when you compare us with white society in America. We are poor. Never stop and forget that collectively - that means all of us together - collectively we are richer
40、 than all the nations in the world, with the exception of nine. Did you ever think about that? After you leave the United States, Soviet Russia, Great Britain, West Germany, France, and I could name the others, the American Negro collectively is richer than most nations of the world. We have an annu
41、al income of more than thirty billion dollars a year, which is more than all of the exports of the United States, and more than the national budget of Canada. Did you know that? That s power right there, if we know how to pool it. We don t have to argue with anybody. We don t have to curse and go ar
42、ound acting bad with our words. We don t need any bricks and bottles. We don t need any Molotov cocktails. We just need to go around to these stores, and to these massive industries in our country, and say, God sent us by here, to say to you that you re not treating his children right. And we ve com
43、e by here to ask you to make the first item on your agenda fair treatment, where God s children are concerned. Now, if you are not prepared to do that, we do have an agenda that we must follow. And our agenda calls for withdrawing economic support from you. And so, as a result of this, we are asking
44、 you tonight, to go out and tell your neighbors not to buy Coca-Cola in Memphis. Go by and tell them not to buy Sealtest milk. Tell them not to buy - what is the other bread? - Wonder Bread. And what is the other bread company, Jesse? Tell them not to buy Hart s bread. As Jesse Jackson has said, up
45、to now, only the garbage men have been feeling pain; now we must kind of redistribute the pain. We are choosing these companies because they haven t been fair in their hiring policies; and we are choosing them because they can begin the process of saying they are going to support the needs and the r
46、ights of these men who are on strike. And then they can move on town - downtown and tell Mayor Loeb to do what is right. But not only that, we ve got to strengthen black institutions. I call upon you to take your money out of the banks downtown and deposit your money in Tri-State Bank. We want a ban
47、k-in movement in Memphis. Go by the savings and loan association. I m not asking you something that we don t do ourselves at SCLC. Judge Hooks and others will tell you that we have an account here in the savings and loan association from the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. We are telling y
48、ou to follow what we are doing. Put your money there. You have six or seven black insurance companies here in the city of Memphis. Take out your insurance there. We want to have an insurance-in. Now these are some practical things that we can do. We begin the process of building a greater economic b
49、ase. And at the same time, we are putting pressure where it really hurts. I ask you to follow through here. Now, let me say as I move to my conclusion that we ve got to give ourselves to this struggle until the end. Nothing would be more tragic than to stop at this point in Memphis. We ve got to see it through. And when we have our march, you need to be there. If it means leaving work, if it means leaving school - be there. Be concerned about your brother. You may not be on strike. But either we go up together, or we go down together. Let us develop a kind of dangerous unse
