I Have a Dream晨读笔记07

We cannot be satisfied as long as a Negro in Mississippi cannot vote and a Negro in NewYork believes he has nothing for which to vote. No, no, we are not satisfied, and we will not be satisfied until "justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream."

I am not unmindful that some of you have come here out of great trials and tribulations. Some of you have come fresh from narrow jail cells. And some of you have come from areas where your quest-- quest for freedom left you battered by the storms of persecution and staggered by the winds of police brutality. You have been the veterans  of creative suffering. Continue to work with the faith that unearned suffering is redemptive.

Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed.

Let us no wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.

7)stagger,(本意)步履蹒跚;

8)veteran,老兵;

9)creative suffering, 前文的creative protest, 节后上下文意译,历尽磨难,creative?是否出自圣经用法;
