7、我們共和國(guó)的締造者在擬寫憲法和獨(dú)立宣言的輝煌篇章時(shí),就簽署了一張每一個(gè)美國(guó)人都能繼承的期票。這張期票向所有人承諾——不論白人還是黑人——都享有不可讓渡的生存權(quán)、自由權(quán)和追求幸福權(quán)。然而,今天美國(guó)顯然對(duì)她的有色公民拖欠著這張期票。美國(guó)沒有承兌這筆神圣的債務(wù),而是開始給黑人一張空頭支票——一張蓋著“資金不足”的印戳被退回的支票。Butwerefusetobelievethatthebankofjusticeisbankrupt.Werefusetobelievethatthereareinsufficientfundsinthegreatvaultsofopport
