"C’est un grand réconfort pour moi d’être en France, berceau des libertés et des idéaux, pour réfléchir avec vous sur les problèmes que nous affrontons. Nous sommes réunis ce soir, motivés par le souci de faire disparaître les barrières. Aux États-Unis, qui constituent une sorte de condensé du monde d’aujourd’hui, nous... |
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.

Mr. Bell, and members of the faculty and members of the student body of this great institution of learning, ladies and gentlemen. I have several things that one could talk about before such a large, concerned, and enlightened audience. There are so many problems facing our nation and our world, that one could just take... |
It is impossible to begin this lecture without again expressing my deep appreciation to the Nobel Committee of the Norwegian Parliament for bestowing upon me and the civil rights movement in the United States such a great honor. Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be com... |
