LING KUAN GORGE
LING KUAN GORGE
The snow already more than half a foot deep, obliterated the line between earth and sky behind a hazy white curtain. I had been following the faith of the future railway for forty kilometers. Althouhj i could hear the roar of machinery further back in the hills, i had seen neither work sites nor workers.
Entering Lingkuan Gorge, my irritation increased Even in clear weather, in this gorge the sun never shone. it did not matter where you looked up along the twisting course the most you could see of the sky was a patch no bigger than the plam of your hand. Now it was dusk, and the swirling snowflakes and the gale made every step a struggle.
Construction in the Gorge was very busy
Everywhere people were at work. Generators, cement mixers, air compressors shook the ground. hundreds of light bulbs gleamed dim and yellow.
Electric wires, crisscrossing like a giant spider web were scarcely visible but i could see the overhead cables and their pulley cars sliding back and forth loaded with materials. Hungry, cold, i tripped and fell scraping my hands.
Enough , i would find some place under a cliff, out of the wind, and rest a few hours. If i reached the materials depot tomorrow morning by 10 O ' clock , that still would not be too late.

Hope and Aspiration
I have a Dream
Five score Year ago , a great american, in whole symbolic shadow we stand, signed the Emancipation proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of nrgro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. it came as a joyous day break to end the long night of captivity.
But one hundred Year Later
We must face the tragic fact that the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination, one hundred year later, the negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.
One Hundred Year Later
The negro is still languished in the corners of American society ad finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize an appalling condition.
In a sense we have come to our nation's Capital to cash a cheque, when the architecture of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they where signing a promissory note to wish every American was fall this note was a promise that all men would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
It is obvious today that American has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, American has given the Negro People a bad cheque: a cheque which has come back marked, insufficient funds , but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt.
