一月十五日馬丁·路德·金誕辰紀念日

美國黑人牧師馬丁·路德·金博士生于１９２９年１月１５日。他在家鄉(xiāng)美國南部、在全國各地，為爭取黑人民權(quán)做了不懈的努力。他多次參加示威游行和群眾集會，帶頭宣傳和平與正義。１９６３年在“華盛頓大游行”中，金在林肯紀念碑前發(fā)表了著名的“我有一個夢想”的演說。在演說中，他曾預言一個世界的到來，在那個世界里，“將不是以他們的膚色，而是以他們的品格優(yōu)劣來評價”他的孩子們。１９６８年４月，金在田納西州孟菲斯市被暗殺，消息震驚了全世界。在此后的幾年中，許多城市，接著又有許多州，將金的生日定為法定假日?，F(xiàn)在這個日子已經(jīng)是全美國的假日了。這一天，在美國國內(nèi)乃至國際上，人們會聚焦于金所魂牽夢縈的問題，討論自從金發(fā)表了演說之后他的夢想實現(xiàn)得怎么樣，是有了進展，還是仍有差距。
