马丁·路德·金简介 美国人

1929年1月15日,小马丁·路德·金出生在美国亚特兰大市奥本街501号,一幢维多利亚式的小楼里。他的父亲是牧师,母亲是教师。他从母亲那里学会了怎样去爱、同情和理解他人;从父亲那里学到了果敢、坚强、率直和坦诚。但他在黑人区生活,也感受到人格的尊严和作为黑人的痛苦。15岁时,聪颖好学的金以优异成绩进入摩尔豪斯学院攻读社会学,后获得文学学士学位。
尽管美国战后经济发展很快,强大的政治、军事力量使它登上了“自由世界”盟主的交椅。可国内黑人却在经济和政治上受到歧视与压迫。面对丑恶的现实,金立志为争取社会平等与正义作一名牧师。他先后就读于克拉泽神学院和波士顿大学,于1955年获神学博士学位后,到亚拉巴马州蒙哥马利市得克斯基督教浸礼会教堂作牧师。

1955年12月,蒙哥马利节警察当局以违反公共汽车座位隔离条令为由,逮捕了黑人妇女罗莎·帕克斯。金遂同几位黑人积极分子组织起“蒙哥马利市政改进协会”,号召全市近5万名黑人对公共法与公司进行长达1年的抵制,迫使法院判决取消地方运输工具上的座位隔离。这是美国南部黑人第一次以自己的力量取得斗争胜利,从而揭开了持续10余年的民权运动的序幕,也使金博士锻炼成民权运动的领袖。
1968年4月4日,金被种族分子暗杀。
美国政府规定,从1986年起,每年1月的第3个星期一为小马丁·路德·金全国纪念日。

关于非暴力主张

伴随着种族主义长大的马丁·路德·金,深受种族主义的伤害,所以他积极参加反对种族隔离制度的斗争。但他主张的却是非暴力的斗争,而这种斗争方式的确是有思想原因的。他受甘地主义和基督教教义影响很深,是一位典型的和平主义者。他强调在争取黑人自由平等权利的斗争中,不应干违法的事,不能让“创造性的抗议堕落成为暴力行为”,必须要有“用精神力量对付武力”的崇高境界。这里的精神力量在他看来,就是要以基督教宣传的“博爱”、“仁慈”来感化黑人的敌人并使之放下屠刀。
金之所以有这种思想与其青年时的学习有直接关系的。他在宾夕法尼亚的克罗泽学院学习时,利用业余时间,阅读了著名的神学著作——人们写的关于信仰的书,还有哲学著作——关于生活方式的书。这些书的思想给其留下了深刻的印象,并最终用于实践。但使马丁·路德·金最为激动的则是圣雄甘地的思想。甘地的非暴力,或称精神力量的哲学是印度人民对抗英帝国主义政治、军事力量的精神支柱。印度人民不断举行示威游行,反对外国政治的统治,无论这样统治是否出于善意。也无论是否正确,他们要自己来做出决定。
甘地说虽然他们必须准备好为取得独立而牺牲自己的生命,他们也决不可为此而进行杀戮——不管受到多么粗暴的对待。
马丁开始相信在印度能取得胜利,在美国也可以。他用自己的行动领导了一场声势浩大的以非暴力为原则的民权运动。

本次演讲背景

50年代的美国南部,好像一座对付“解放了的”黑人的监狱。而阿拉巴马州又是种族歧视最为猖獗的一个州,在这里,黑人的选举权力受到野蛮剥夺和限制,骇人听闻的迫害黑人的私刑暴行不断发生,种族隔离制度使黑人不能与白人同校,不能在同一个教堂做礼拜,不准进入为白人开设的旅馆、客栈、饭馆和娱乐场所,连公共汽车站上也树立了栅栏,规定白人黑人分别上车。
年轻的伴随着种族主义歧视长大的黑人牧师马丁·路德·金到任不久,便参加并领导了1955年蒙哥马利市黑人抵制乘坐公共汽车的反种族歧视运动,最终迫使美国最高法院作出取消这种制度的决定。1963年他组织的伯明翰黑人争取自由平等权利的大规模游行示威,把黑人运动从南方推向北方。8月28日,斗争达到高潮。25万人聚集首都华盛顿,以和平集会方式举行“自由进军”的示威,就在林肯纪念堂前,马丁·路德·金向示威群众发表了这篇激动人心的演说。在演讲中,表达了他的非暴力主义思想以及他对自由平等公正的追求与憧憬。

  1963年8月23日,马丁·路德·金组织了美国历史上影响深远的“自由进军”运动。他率领一支庞大的游行队伍向首都华盛顿进军,为全美国的黑人争取人权。他在林肯纪念堂前向25万人发表了著名的演说《我有一个梦想》,为反对种族歧视、争取平等发出呼号。马丁·路德·金1964年获诺贝尔和平奖。1968年4月4日他在田纳西州被暗杀。

  在演说中,他说出了著名的平等口号:

  我梦想有一天,这个国家将会奋起,实现其立国信条的真谛:“我们认为这些真理不证自明:人人生而平等。”
  I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

  我梦想有一天,在佐治亚州的红色山岗上,昔日奴隶的儿子能够同昔日奴隶主的儿子同席而坐,亲如手足。
  I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

  我梦想有一天,我的四个孩子将生活在一个不是以肤色的深浅,而是以品格的优劣作为评判标准的国家里。
  I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

  演讲全文:I Have a Dream by Martin Luther King, Jr.

  I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

  Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, 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 their captivity.

  But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the 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 languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

  In a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."

  But we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.

  We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the 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. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.

  It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.

  But there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace 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 and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.

  The marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here today, have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny. And they have come to realize that their freedom is inextricably bound to our freedom.

  We cannot walk alone.

  And as we walk, we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead.

  We cannot turn back.

  There are those who are asking the devotees of civil rights, "When will you be satisfied?" We can never be satisfied as long as the Negro is the victim of the unspeakable horrors of police brutality. We can never be satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of travel, cannot gain lodging in the motels of the highways and the hotels of the cities. We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in New York believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."本回答被提问者采纳
