Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, please allow me to commence this speech by saying that if the discrimination against the black cannot disintegrate, all the black people cannot live a happy equal and just life.
While, last time I was on a bus, I got an opportunity to face the passengers who were not concerned about issues of racial justice, I got an opportunity to against the chauffeur who had never saw the black as actual passengers and I got an opportunity to have a look at the ‘police’ who’s eyes didn’t have laws but only the color, the skin color.
And today I also get an opportunity to stand here and appeal all of you to keeping going on our liberation way, which means the law of equal and free is not only a name, which means ‘white only’ will not be seen anywhere, which means the black can also do what whites can do now.
Yesterday, our workers went on a ‘strike’. Black drivers had a day-off, raced workers had a good rest and colored children went to school refusing the bus by white drivers. However, white passengers, white drivers and white councils had a hard time, their bus was monotonous with only one color, they had to trying their uncomfortable way for work.
During this long and remote journey for what ought to be settled long long before, the only thing that bothered me was that we waited for so long to make this protest. Because I understood that the struggle for racial justice were really symbolic --that it was part of a larger struggle \Americans were trapped in their color, so long as they were being denied by the race which is born differently but equal all the time--so long as opportunity was being opened to some but not all --the dream that the black spoke of would remain out of reach.
Moreover, we were taking it for granted that the challenge to fulfill the hope was not as huge as it actual was, we cheered without being aware of the hardness of future. Right last night, police went out their office to control the demonstration of residents who were active
taking part in the racial equality. And what I said was that instead of having a politics that encourages the advanced notions, we've had a politics that's used race to drive us apart, when all this does is feed the forces of division and distraction, and stop us from solving our problems.
You know, Dr. King once said that the arc of the moral universe is long, but that it bends toward justice. But what he also knew was that it
doesn't bend on its own. It bends because each of us puts our hands on that arc and bends it in the direction of justice.
So on this day --of all days --let's each do our part to bend that arc. Let's bend that arc toward justice. Let's bend that arc toward opportunity. Let's bend that arc toward prosperity for all.
(p.s. I quote the last part of this speech from one of the Obama’s speech.)
