今天是美国的“马丁·路德·金纪念日”。是美国联邦假日之一。马丁·路德·金作为美国历史上最伟大的民权运动领袖之一，直接推动了1964年通过《民权法案》，为废除美国的种族隔离做出了巨大的贡献。他的不朽名篇《我有一个梦想》被公认为美国演讲史上最成功的演讲之一，也是像我一样的中国人在学生时代学习英语的范本教材，间接的对我们也是一种人权的启蒙。
金博士通过非暴力运动推动的历史进程，其实不光是对于黑人有意义，对美国的少数族裔包括华裔都有深远的意义。没有一个民主国家是生来完美的——我们今天很难想象，仅仅是在70年前很多美国南方州，黑人不给白人让座还是犯法。所以真民主的可贵之处就在于能够正视这样的不完美，并且保持改进的渠道和勇气。
民主不是靠吹嘘和包装，也不是仅仅有一个选举的形式，而是靠内在坚持的道德和价值。美国能够成为今日之美国，正是因为不断有像金博士这样的“我不入地狱谁入地狱”的自由斗士。他们所彰显的价值，不仅仅是对美国有意义，更是对全人类都有意义。
Today is the "Martin Luther King Jr. Day" in the United States, a federal holiday. Martin Luther King Jr., one of the greatest leaders in the U.S. civil rights movement, directly influenced the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, contributing significantly to ending racial segregation in the country. His immortal speech, "I Have a Dream," is recognized as one of the most successful speeches in American history and served as a model textbook for English learners, including many Chinese students.
Dr. King's historical impact through nonviolent activism extends beyond African Americans, holding profound significance for all minority groups in the United States, including the Chinese. The valuable aspect of true democracy lies in acknowledging imperfections and maintaining the courage and channels for improvement.
Democracy isn't about boasting or packaging; it relies on intrinsic moral values. The United States has evolved into what it is today because of freedom fighters like Dr. King, who embodied values meaningful not only for America but for all of humanity.
