站在林肯纪念堂面前,站在那个目光坚毅的林肯雕像18个楼梯之下──当年金博士面对20万人发表了I have a dream的著名演说,这个演说成了60年代美国民权运动的标志性事件。历史总是以某种方式联系在了一起,不仅在金博士的演说里,而且在他们的死亡方式──他们都被刺杀了,但是直到今天,金博士的梦想依然美丽而inspiring,对于这个世界追求公义和爱的人们。奥巴马就职演说的时候,U2在林肯纪念堂前演唱了那首脍炙人口的Pride (in the name of the love),这是一首献给金博士的歌:
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One come he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
(nobody like you...)
Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love...
清晨的阳光很美好,不时有里根国际机场的飞机飞过,一个黑人父亲在林肯纪念堂墙壁上著名的gettysburg演讲词前给他的孩子说着什么,外面硕大的汉白玉石阶中间露出一对恋人的微笑。我在想,这个世界很多人在骂美国,很多人在赞美美国,但是这个世界可曾有那个国家为纪念一个民权运动领袖一个dissenter而把他的生日定为全国的假日──马丁路德金日。
