Exactly 50 years have passed by since Reverent Martin Luther King Jr. stood on the staircases leading to the Lincoln memorial before 250000 Americans to deliver his immortal sermon known to the entire humanity as “I Have A Dream”.. Here are a few excerpts I chose to express how actual his speech seem today.
“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”.
“It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the
urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of legitimate discontent will not
pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. And there
will be neither rest nor tranquility in this nation until equal citizenship
rights are granted”.
“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 quick sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood.
Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children”.
“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’."
Two Luther (s) have
carved their posts in history
mobilising strong Cultural Protests that soon after triggered overwhelming
Social Revolutions, though in different ways..
One German
priest who decided to review the Catholic doctrine’s inconsistencies with the
early teachings
of Jesus, thus establishing a Protestant Movement later on becoming a doctrine
thriving towards knowledge and competition..
The other an
illuminated Afro-American reverent and devoted human rights activists who
worked his way into the doctrine to extract the modern needs and hopes of the
mashed masses in order to peacefully restore their civil rights.
Two men did what
the Muslim Brotherhood mighty international structure is still unable to do
since more than 80 years.. Two men changed the western thought just by
following exactly the paths of earlier Muslim philosophers and scientists, whom
enlightened and widened human knowledge long before the European tribes reached
out from their caverns.
They all knew
for certain that the key to power, progress, security and evolution is knowing
not fighting.
Pass On The Word.
