Today, we all gather together, one side of the hard journey of memories of the past, while the joy of looking at the beginning of the free, happy, sweet, beautiful life.
100 years ago, a great American, in the face of the whole human being, stood before her symbolic statue: the American contract of happiness. The happiness of the spirit of the contract content to millions of burn in the flames of withering injustice immigrants, as a great beacon light of hope to bring, as a joyous daybreak to end the long night.
100 years later, we must face the future immigration is long hard this fact in want of perfection. 100 years later, the expulsion of abuse and discrimination from shackles mocking under the yoke of immigrants, rough and rugged road. 100 years later, migrants still live on a lonely island of poverty in the ocean of material abundance. 100 years later, immigrants still stumble in the road, and that he is still home in exile. We gather here today, is to put the world in front of the frightful to the ear. In a sense, today we are in order to fulfill our promise come to this place to stay. Our happiness contract commitment and generous founder Hao Ran declared the magnificent words, had a good heart to make a promise that all men, regardless of their white or yellow men would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
In terms of all kinds of immigrants, the contract is clearly beginning to end in the practice of her promise. Although not completely fulfill the sacred obligation, only to the yellow man opened a lip-service, check with "wait a moment" has come back marked. But we do not believe that happiness is bankrupt, we do not believe that, in the hope that the great vaults of opportunity has not enough reserves. And so we ask for cash this check -- a check that will give us the freedom and the security of our happiness.
We have come to this holy place to remind the world that it is a very urgent moment. Now is not to talk about calm down or taking sedatives gradualism when. Now is the time to realize the promise of a happy contract. Now is the time for a bright road from despair to many of the dark and desolate valley to climb to regain hope, now is the time to all of God's children to open the doors of opportunity, it is difficult to deliver us in the quicksand, when the solid rock of brotherhood.
If the contract ignores the urgency of time and underestimate our determination, then it will be fatal to the contract of happiness. An invigorating autumn of freedom and happiness does not come from looking for, we will not pass the summer. All the past does not mean the end of the struggle, but the beginning. There is hope, as long as we will meet and gas contract; if there is no response, these people regard with equanimity, will be greatly disappointed. We can't get the basic right of happiness, the temptation of contract or invincible or dream of happiness, until the bright day of despair, the struggle will continue to shake the entire contract.
But for people waiting at the gate of the palace of happiness, is something that I must say. In the process of striving for a priority, we do not take the wrong approach. We don't want to meet the desire of happiness while holding down and drinking from the cup of resentment. Our struggle must always mannered, disciplined. We can't allow our new content appeal to be an act of. We must constantly rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with spiritual power.
The immigrant community is full of great new spirit of struggle, but can not be trusted with all the aid. Because many aid organizations we have come to realize that their destiny is tied up with our destiny, as evidenced by their presence here today. Their happiness is closely related to our happiness. We can't act alone.
When we act, we must ensure that we move forward. We can't go back. There are those who are asking the enthusiastic movement of immigrants, "when will you be satisfied?"
We can never be satisfied as long as the immigrants are still suffering from the unspeakable brutality of the police.
We can never be satisfied as long as we can't find accommodation in a car Hotel and a hotel in the city on the side of the road.
We can never be satisfied as long as the basic movement of immigrants is transferred from a small slum to a large one.
We can never be satisfied as long as our children are stripped of their ego and dignity by the slogan "just a minute".
As long as Alaska California still have a sibling can not successfully go through, as long as there is a New York compatriots that his vision of no avail, we can never be satisfied.
No We are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied unless happy and sweet like a mighty surging, rolling in.
I am not unmindful, meeting people, some of the suffering and torture, you have come from areas where your quest for some happiness, wasbrutally insane persecution at the residence of the blow, and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You are a man of pain and suffering. Stick to it, we must firmly believe that the pain is not due to bear the pain is a kind of atonement.
Let's go back to Alaska, go back to Hawaii, go back to
I have a dream that one day, Glen Rose, alpine decline; the twists and turns of the road into a smooth, full disclosure of light, illuminating the world.
This is our hope. With this faith I return to the Pacific ocean. With this faith, we will be able to put a mountain of hope into the sea of despair. With this faith, we will be able to this noisy world screeching, changed into a beautiful symphony with brotherly affection.
With this faith, we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to work together, to stand up for our happiness, because we know that one day we will be happy.
On that day the arrival of happiness, all of God's children will sing this song with a new meaning, "my country, beautiful happiness village, I sing for you. You are where my fathers died, the pilgrim's pride, let happiness ring."
If this happy contract is to become a successful model, the dream must be realized!
Let happiness ring from the state of Texas in the high mountains and lofty hills towering!
Let the happiness ring from New York, high mountains and lofty hills!
Let the happiness ring from Ohio, high mountains and lofty hills!
Let the happiness ring cover from Alaska California ice and snow in the mountains!
Let the happiness ring from California winding peaks!
Not only that, but also the sound of happiness from Shiling Virginia ring!
Let happiness ring from Lookout Mountain of iowa!
Let the sound of happiness ring from every hill and hill of Washington state!
Let the sound of happiness ring from every hill!
When we let happiness ring, let the voice of happiness from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, yellow and white men, Jews and Gentiles, who taught Jesus and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old song of immigrants:
"Happiness! Happiness! Thank God Almighty, we are finally happy! |
