我们应该站在得体而遵纪守法的高度上进行斗争。我们不容许我们富有创造性的抗议沦为暴力行动。我们应该不断升华到用精神力量对付肉体力量的崇高境界。

　　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.

　　席卷黑人社会的新的奇迹般的战斗精神，不应导致我们对所有白人的不信任，因为许多白人兄弟已经认识到：他们的命运同我们的命运紧密相连，他们的自由同我们的自由休戚相关。他们今天来到这里参加集会就是最好的证明。

　　We cannot walk alone.

　　我们不能单独行动。

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

　　当我们行动时，我们必须保证勇往直前。

　　We cannot turn back.

　　我们不能后退。

　　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.

　　有人问热心民权运动的人：“你们什么时候会感到满意？”只要黑人依然遭受警察难以形容的野蛮迫害，我们就绝不会满意。
