馬丁•路德•金恩出生於1929年的今天。他深受印度聖雄甘地非暴力反抗思想的啟示，領導美國民權運動，努力推倒歧視非洲裔美國人和其他少數族群的法律和制度壁壘。從1957年到1968年，金恩在美國各地走過六百多萬哩路，發表了2,500多次演講，領導了無數抗議遊行，被捕20多次。金恩於1964年榮獲諾貝爾和平獎，表彰他在民權運動所發揮的領導力。在獲獎的前一年，金恩領導了在華盛頓匯合的大遊行，並向25萬名群眾演講他的希望：「有一天……昔日奴隸的兒子能同昔日奴隸主的兒子同席而坐，親如兄弟……有一天，我的四個孩子將生活在一個不是以皮膚的顏色，而是以品格的優劣作為評判標準的國度裡。」金恩在1968年遭暗殺身亡，為紀念生於1月15日的金恩，每年一月份的第三個星期一也就成了聯邦假日 -- 馬丁•路德•金恩紀念日，紀念他的偉大貢獻，並鼓勵公民參加社區志願服務來延續他的精神。一起來認識這位民運領袖：https://share.america.gov/life-legacy-martin-luther-king-jr/#MartinLutherKing
Martin Luther King Jr. was born on this day in 1929. He was one of the most important voices of the American civil rights movement. Inspired by Indian leader Mahatma Gandhi’s use of nonviolent, civil disobedience, the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. (1929-1968), led America’s civil rights movement to eliminate legal and institutional barriers against African Americans and other minority groups. Between 1957 and 1968, King traveled more than six million miles, delivered more than 2,500 speeches, directed numerous protest marches, and was arrested more than 20 times. For his leadership, the Nobel Foundation awarded him the Nobel Prize for Peace in 1964. It came one year after Dr. King led a march on Washington, D.C., where, before a crowd of 250,000, he proclaimed his hope that “one day … the sons of formers slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood … that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. ” King was assassinated in 1968, but his birthday is now observed in the United States as a national holiday on the third Monday in January. It honors Dr. King’s legacy and challenges citizens to engage in volunteer service in their communities.

Dec. 24: William Makepeace Thackeray, 天聲人語 耶路撒冷與威脅

天聲人語 耶路撒冷與威脅 January 7, 2018 位於約旦河西岸的巴勒斯坦自治區雷馬拉(Ramallah)近郊。巴勒斯坦的年輕人們在此進行大規模的抗議活動，除了燃燒輪胎等，也與以色列治安當局發生衝突=攝於2017年12月7日(渡邊丘) 　　這是發生在2009年、村上春樹獲頒以色列文學獎「耶路撒冷獎」時的事情。據了解，當時有許多人勸阻他「別出席頒獎典禮」。以色列軍隊的攻擊日益加劇，許多巴勒斯坦人民為此喪失性命。若領取這個獎項，恐怕相當於認同以色列的軍事活動。 　　即便如此，村上還是遠赴參加，並在演講中批評以色列。他在演講中提到:「假設有高聳的牆壁，以及擲牆破碎的雞蛋，我永遠會站在雞蛋那方。」顯而易見，所謂的雞蛋，指的是遭武力摧毀、燒毀的人民；而牆壁指的則是以色列軍方。 　　以色列於1948年宣布建國以來，有70萬名巴勒斯坦人逃離家鄉成了難民。而背離悲劇的一方，選擇站在堅固高牆那方的，便是川普總統的態度。 　　川普總統將猶太教及伊斯蘭教的聖地耶路撒冷，承認為以色列首都。甚至威脅表示，將可能對在聯合國決議中譴責此舉的國家中止援助。即使是商業貿易也過於無情。別說是為了調停中東和平，不如說是在攪局。 　　外界始終認為，美國的強項不僅是軍事及經濟上的力量，還有文化及價值觀等軟實力。提倡此論點的政治學者約瑟夫·奈爾指出:「並非動用威脅或金錢力量，而是自然拉攏對方，獲得所追求的事物之能力。」這番議論成立之時的光景令人懷念。 　　隨著外界對川普的抗議，迄今已有10名巴勒斯坦人死亡。若非總統的輕舉妄動及妄言，這些人命將不會殞落。 　　原文刊載於2017年12月24日 William Makepeace Thackeray  died in London, England on this day in 1863 (aged 52). "The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind...
