  • The Ballot Or The Bullet

    Mr. Moderator, Brother Lomax, brothers and sisters, friends and enemies: I just can’t believe everyone in here is a friend, and I don’t want to leave anybody out.

  • First State of the Union Address

    Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, Members of the House and Senate, my fellow Americans: I will be brief, for our time is necessarily short and our agenda is already long.

    Signor Presidente, onorevoli colleghi, il Governo che si presenta oggi in Parlamento per chiedere la fiducia è il punto di arrivo di un lungo, difficile processo di sviluppo, íl quale ha condotto partiti, talora anche lontani per posizioni ed esperienze politiche, ad assumere insieme la responsabilità di guidare la comunità nazionale.

This is not a partisan term, and it is not the exclusive property of Republicans or Democrats. It refers, instead, to this Nation’s place in…

  • Message To The Grassroots

    We want to have just an off—the—cuff chat between you and me —— us. We want to talk right down to earth in a language that everybody here can easily understand. We all agree tonight, all of the speakers have agreed, that America has a very serious problem. Not only does America have a very…

  • «I Have a Dream»

    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…

    One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination.
