【正文】 doing. Put your money there. You have six or seven black insurance panies here in the city of Memphis. Take out your insurance there. We want to have an insurancein.　　Now these are some practical things that we can do. We begin the process of building a greater economic base. And at the same time, we are putting pressure where it really hurts. I ask you to follow through here.　　Now, let me say as I move to my conclusion that we39。t stop. At times we say they were busy going to a church meeting, an ecclesiastical gathering, and they had to get on down to Jerusalem so they wouldn39。s possible that those men were afraid. You see, the Jericho road is a dangerous road. I remember when Mrs. King and I were first in Jerusalem. We rented a car and drove from Jerusalem down to Jericho. And as soon as we got on that road, I said to my wife, I can see why Jesus used this as the setting for his parable. It39。s a dangerous road. In the days of Jesus it came to be known as the Bloody Pass. And you know, it39。s the question.　　Let us rise up tonight with a greater readiness. Let us stand with a greater determination. And let us move on in these powerful days, these days of challenge to make America what it ought to be. We have an opportunity to make America a better nation. And I want to thank God, once more, for allowing me to be here with you.　　You know, several years ago, I was in New York City autographing the first book that I had written. And while sitting there autographing books, a demented black woman came up. The only question I heard from her was, Are you Martin Luther King? And I was looking down writing, and I said, Yes. And the next minute I felt something beating on my chest. Before I knew it I had been stabbed by this demented woman. I was rushed to Harlem Hospital. It was a dark Saturday afternoon. And that blade had gone through, and the Xrays revealed that the tip of the blade was on the edge of my aorta, the main artery. And once that39。d received a visit and a letter from the Governor of New York, but I39。s the end of you.　　It came out in the New York Times the next morning, that if I had merely sneezed, I would have died. Well, about four days later, they allowed me, after the operation, after my chest had been opened, and the blade had been taken out, to move around in the wheel chair in the hospital. They allowed me to read some of the mail that came in, and from all over the states and the world, kind letters came in. I read a few, but one of them I will never forget. I had received one from the President and the VicePresident. I39。s possible that they felt that the man on the ground was merely faking. And he was acting like he had been robbed and hurt, in order to seize them over there, lure them there for quick and easy seizure. And so the first question that the priest asked the first question that the Levite asked was, If I stop to help this man, what will happen to me? But then the Good Samaritan came by. And he reversed the question: If I do not stop to help this man, what will happen to him?　　That39。s really conducive for ambushing. You start out in Jerusalem, which is about 1200 miles or rather 1200 feet above sea level. And by the time you get down to Jericho, fifteen or twenty minutes later, you39。s a possibility. Maybe they felt that it was better to deal with the problem from the causal root, rather than to get bogged down with an individual effect.　　But I39。ve got to see it through. And when we have our march, you need to be there. If it means leaving work, if it means leaving school be there. Be concerned about your brother. You may not be on strike. But either we go up together, or we go down together.　　Let us develop a kind of dangerous unselfishness. One day a man came to Jesus, and he wanted to raise some questions about some vital matters of life. At points he wanted to trick Jesus, and show him that he knew a little more than Jesus knew and throw him off base....Now that question could have easily ended up in a philosophical and theological debate. But Jesus immediately pulled that question from midair, and placed it on a dangerous curve between Jerusalem and Jericho. And he talked about a certain man, who fell among thieves. You remember that a Levite and a priest passed by on the other side. They didn39。ve got to strengthen black institutions. I call upon you to take your money out of the banks downtown and deposit your money in TriState Bank. We want a bankin movement in Memphis. Go by the savings and loan association. I39。s bread. As Jesse Jackson has said, up to now, only the garbage men have been feeling pain。t need any Molotov cocktails. We just need to go around to these stores, and to these massive industries in our country, and say, God sent us by here, to say to you that you39。s power right there, if we know how to pool it.　　We don39。t eat three square meals a day. It39。t concerned about anything but themselves. And I39。 he39。s a marvelous picture. Who is it that is supposed to articulate the longings and aspirations of the people more than the preacher? Somehow the preacher must have a kind of fire shut up in his bones. And whenever injustice is around he tell it. Somehow the preacher must be an Amos, and saith, When God speaks who can but prophesy? Again with Amos, Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like a mighty stream. Somehow the preacher must say with Jesus, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me, and he39。t mitted themselves to that over there. But somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly. Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech. Somewhere I read of the freedom of press. Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right. And so just as I say, we aren39。t adjust to。em off, and they did。t stop us.　　And we just went on before the dogs and we would look at them。t gonna let nobody turn me around.Bull Connor next would say, Turn the fire hoses on. And as I said to you th
