I'll do whatever I can, and leave the rest to God

मेरे लिए सबसे डरावना हिस्सा इसकी पूरी विरासत से जुड़ा है, और यह जानना है कि यह ईसाई परंपरा से जुड़ी हुई विरासत है। जब मैं इब्राहिम और उनके बेटे इसहाक के बारे में सोचता हूँ, तो यह मुझे थोड़ा डरावना लगता है

The most intimidating part for me has to do with the whole legacy, and knowing it is a legacy in line with the Christian tradition. I think about Abraham and his son Isaac, and it's kind of frightening

कभी-कभी इंसान को सच सामने लाना पड़ता है, दोहरे मानदंडों को बेनकाब करना पड़ता है और जैसी करनी वैसी भरनी कहनी पड़ती है।

Sometimes a person has to point fingers, disclose double standards, call a spade a spade.'

*Remarks at the funeral of Rosa Parks (2 November 2005)]

*Against New Hampshire not formally naming Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (25 January 1994)]

जब मैंने अंत्येष्टि का वह दृश्य देखा, तो मैं अंदर से पूरी तरह टूट गया। मैं कैबिन से दौड़कर जंगल में चला गया, और करीब ढाई घंटे तक बस यही रोता रहा: "हे भगवान, तूने उसे क्यों छीन लिया?"

When I saw the funeral scene, I just broke down. I ran out of the cabin into the woods, and for nearly 2-1/2 hours, I just cried: "Why, God, did You take him?"

* Reflection on experience at age sixteen in "Faces of Faith: A Connection Magazine Anthology" (2006), p. 82

It's very difficult standing here blessed as her one and only sister. Yolanda, from your one and only, I thank you for being a sister and for being a friend

*On sister's death (24 May 2007)]

*King Center CEO Bernice A. King Statement on the Death of Nelson Mandela (06 December 2013)]

मेरी आत्मा की गहराई में यह स्वीकार करना बहुत कठिन है कि मेरे पिता की उन अनमोल धरोहरों को, जिन्हें उन्होंने सहेज कर रखा था, सरकार की निगरानी में सौंप दिया जाए, भले ही कुछ समय के लिए ही सही। फिर भी, मैं यह समझती हूँ कि न्याय और नेकी हमेशा एक रास्ते पर नहीं चलते, और अक्सर भगवान के कानून और इंसानी कानून में फर्क होता है

It is, deep in my soul, difficult to place what my father described as precious heirlooms under the custody of the government, even if only for a season. Yet, I recognize that justice and righteousness are not always aligned, and there is often a disconnect between God's law and man's law

* Statement on potential selling of father's Nobel Peace Prize and bible (06 March 2014)]

बहुत से लोग नहीं जानते कि मेरी माँ ही वह मुख्य ताकत थीं जिन्होंने मेरे पिता की विरासत को हमेशा अमेरिकी जनमानस के केंद्र में बनाए रखा। डॉ. किंग एक महान व्यक्ति, विद्वान, दार्शनिक, धर्मशास्त्री, वक्ता और ऐसे नेता थे जिनमें चरित्र और दृढ़ता कूट-कूट कर भरी थी। लेकिन 1968 में इस बात की कोई गारंटी नहीं थी कि इतिहास उन्हें आज उसी रूप में याद रखेगा, यदि उनकी विरासत को संजोने में उनकी माँ का यह मजबूत योगदान न होता

Many people don’t know that my mother was the driving force that kept my father’s legacy at the forefront of American consciousness. Dr. King was a great man, a scholar, philosopher, theologian, orator—a leader with character and integrity. But in 1968 there was no guarantee that he would be in the annals of history the way that he is today had it not been for her solidifying his legacy

उनके काम को संस्थागत रूप देना उनका मुख्य लक्ष्य था, और आज हम किंग की जिस विरासत को जानते हैं, उसकी रूपरेखा उन्होंने ही तैयार की थी। द किंग सेंटर उनके आंदोलन की विचारधारा और कार्यप्रणाली को व्यवस्थित करने और उसे दीर्घकालिक बनाने का उनका एक जरिया था। यहाँ तक कि जनवरी में आने वाली छुट्टी के संदर्भ में भी, उन्होंने इसे केवल उनकी याद तक सीमित रखने के बजाय, उससे कहीं आगे बढ़कर इसे एक व्यापक रूप देने का प्रयास किया

It was her primary goal to institutionalize his work, and she was the architect of the King legacy as we know it today. The King Center was a way for her to codify the methodology and ideology of the movement and give it longevity. Even with respect to the holiday in January, she worked to define it beyond memorializing him

उन्होंने छुट्टी के दिन 'छुट्टी मनाने' के बजाय 'कुछ सार्थक करने' (सेवा करने) का विचार दिया। वह चाहती थीं कि यह दिन सामुदायिक सेवा का पर्व बने ताकि लोग उनके काम से जुड़ाव महसूस करें और समझें कि संघर्ष अभी थमा नहीं है। उनका मानना था कि त्याग कभी खाली नहीं जाता। और आखिरकार, वह चाहती थीं कि उनकी विरासत का दायरा बढ़कर मानवाधिकारों तक पहुँचे। इस सफर की शुरुआत अफ्रीकी अमेरिकियों के नागरिक अधिकारों से हुई थी, लेकिन वह तो महज शुरुआत थी

She created the idea of a day “on,” as opposed to a day “off.” She wanted it to become a holiday of community service so that people felt connected to his work and understood that the struggle continues. She believed that sacrifice is not something that is unrewarding. And ultimately, she wanted his legacy to expand into the realm of human rights. The journey began with civil rights for African Americans, but that was only just the beginning

*Statements during interview with The Root (24 June 2014)]

गरीबी से बाहर निकलने के रास्तों को रोकना बेहद अमानवीय है, सिर्फ इसलिए क्योंकि आपको उन रास्तों की कभी जरूरत नहीं पड़ी

It is terribly inhumane to block pathways out of poverty because you didn’t need those pathways

*Aug 24, 2022 on Twitter

आपको समय-समय पर ऐसे लोग मिलेंगे जो भटके हुए होंगे। यह ज़िंदगी का एक हिस्सा है। चुनौती यह है कि जब मुमकिन हो, आप उन्हें सही राह दिखाएं, लेकिन हमेशा अपनी गरिमा और आत्मसम्मान को बनाए रखें तथा अपने व्यक्तिगत विकास के पथ पर आगे बढ़ते रहें।

You will encounter misguided people from time to time. That's part of life. The challenge is to educate them when you can, but always to keep your dignity and self-respect and persevere in your personal growth and development.

नेल्सन मंडेला, जो एक बेहतर इंसान थे, न कि कड़वाहट से भरे इंसान, उन्होंने हमारी इस दुनिया को रहने के लिए एक बेहतर जगह बनाया। उनका जीवन और नेतृत्व मानव मुक्ति के लिए सर्वोच्च साहस, गरिमा और समर्पण का बेहतरीन उदाहरण है।

Nelson Mandela, a better man, not a bitter man, made our world a better place in which to live. His life and leadership exemplify the highest courage, dignity, and dedication to human liberation.

Continue to speak out against all forms of injustice to yourselves and others, and you will set a mighty example for your children and for future generations.

निराश होने, हतोत्साहित होने या जीवन में अपने लक्ष्यों से भटकने से इनकार कर दीजिए।

Refuse to be disheartened, discouraged, distracted from your goals in life.

प्रेम कोई कमज़ोर या रीढ़हीन भावना नहीं है; यह न्याय के पक्ष में खड़ी एक शक्तिशाली नैतिक ताकत है

Love is not a weak, spineless emotion; it is a powerful moral force on the side of justice.

अगर हम में से हर कोई रोज सुबह उठकर एक नई प्रतिबद्धता के साथ यह पूरी ईमानदारी से कोशिश करे कि अहिंसा को अपनी जीवनशैली बनाएंगे, तो यह दुनिया एक बेहतर जगह बन जाएगी और हम उस 'प्रिय समुदाय' के और करीब पहुँच जाएंगे जिसकी बात मेरे पिता अक्सर किया करते थे।

If each of us works toward making a sincere effort when we wake up each morning with a renewed commitment and dedication to embracing nonviolence as a lifestyle, this world will become a better place, bringing us ever closer to the Beloved Community of which my father so often spoke.

हम में से हर एक को यह तय करना होगा कि क्या यह साबित करना ज्यादा महत्वपूर्ण है कि हम सही हैं, या फिर नेकी और सच्चाई की राह पर चलना ज्यादा अहम है

Each of us must decide whether it is more important to be proved right or to provoke righteousness.

मैं यह नहीं कहूँगी कि मैं समलैंगिक विवाह के खिलाफ हूँ। मैं सभी लोगों के लिए स्वतंत्रता और समानता में विश्वास रखती हूँ। मेरा मानना है कि जहाँ तक समलैंगिक विवाह का सवाल है, यह एक राजनीतिक और कानूनी मुद्दा है जिसे उसी दायरे में संभाला जाना चाहिए। मेरी अपनी निजी मान्यताएँ हैं, लेकिन जब इस विषय की बात आती है, तो इसे राजनीतिक और कानूनी दायरे में ही रखना उचित है।

I wouldn't say I'm against same-sex marriage. I believe in freedom and equality for all people. I believe that when it comes to gay marriage, that's a political and legal issue that has to be dealt with in that arena. I have privately held beliefs, but when it comes to that, it's properly placed in the political and legal arena.

अहिंसा हमें इतनी शक्ति और सामर्थ्य देगी कि हम अलग-अलग पीढ़ियों को एक मंच पर ला सकें और अपने ज्ञान, प्रतिभा तथा उत्साह को एक साथ पिरो सकें।

In the end, I still have the same hope as my father - that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the last word.

사람들은 나를 동성애 혐오자라고 부른다. 만약 내가 동성애 혐오자라면 게이와 레즈비언 친구들이 있을 리 없으니, 이는 사실이 될 수 없다.

People have labeled me homophobic. If I was homophobic, I wouldn't have friends who are gay and lesbian, so that can't be true.

We cannot afford to regard as normal the presence of injustice, inhumanity, and violence, including their verbal and cyber manifestations.

미국의 인종 문제와 관련하여 수년간의 문제에 대해 한 사람만을 탓할 수는 없습니다. 이것은 우리 나라가 건국될 때부터 함께해온 문제입니다. 말하자면, 우리는 노예제와 함께 시작된 국가니까요.

One person cannot be blamed for years of problems as it relates to race in America. This is something that has been with us since the founding of this nation. I mean, we were founded with slaves.

그린넬 대학에서 나는 생애 처음으로 온통 백인들만 있는 환경에 처하게 되었다. 정말 충격적인 경험이었다.

At Grinnell College, for the first time in my life, I was in an all-white setting. It was a shocking experience.

폭력 근절을 위해 꼭 필요한 개혁을 향한 지속적인 기도와 단호한 의지를 바탕으로, 모든 미국 어린이와 성인이 잔혹 행위의 참상으로부터 보호받고 우리의정과 가정, 학교, 지역사회에서 안전하고 평화롭게 살 수 있는 새로운 시대를 향해 함께 나아갑시다.

With continued prayer and an equally-determined commitment to action for needed anti-violence reforms, let us resolve to work toward a new era in which every American child and every adult are protected from the ravages of brutality, safe and secure in our homes and schools and communities.

아버지는 사랑을 그 중심에 둔 비폭력 철학을 통해 우리가 적을 친구로 바꿀 수 있다는 것을 가르쳐 주셨다. 그 사랑을 통해 우리는 더욱 존엄한 분위기를 만들어낼 수 있다.

Daddy taught us through his philosophy of nonviolence, which placed love at the centerpiece, that through that love we can turn enemies into friends. Through that love, we can create more dignified atmospheres.

하나님의 전신갑주를 입고 불의가 고개를 쳐드는 곳마다 맞서 싸울 의지가 없다면, 우리는 어떻게 변화가 일어나기를 기대할 수 있겠습니까?

How do we expect change to occur if we are not willing to put on the whole armor of God and fight injustice wherever it raises its ugly head?

어머니는 킹 센터를 거점 삼아 삶과 법을 바꾼 역할을 묵묵히 완수해내셨다. 남성 인권 운동가들과 비즈니스 리더들이 남편의 유산을 세우는 일은 자신들에게 맡기고 물러나라고 설득했을 때조차도, 어머니는 자신이 해야 할 일이라고 믿었던 그 책임을 결코 포기하지 않은 여성분이셨다.

With The King Center as her base, my mother pressed on to fulfill a role that changed lives and legislation. She was a woman who refused to surrender the reigns of what she knew to be her assignment, even when male civil rights and business leaders tried to convince her that she should leave the work of building her husband's legacy to them.

삶의 방식이자 영구적인 전략으로서의 비폭력은 우리가 늘 수세에 몰리는 대신 공세적 입장에 설 수 있게 해준다. 상대 진영이 어떻게 공을 몰고 가는지 전전긍긍하는 대신, 팀의 결정과 플레이메이킹으로 경기를 주도해 나갈 수 있게 될 것이다.

Nonviolence as a lifestyle and perpetual strategy will allow us to be on the offense instead of continually on the defense. We will be able to move the ball down the field with team decisions and playmaking versus constantly thinking about how the opposing forces are moving the ball.

트럼프의 당선은 오히려 위장된 축복일지도 모른다. 이는 미국이 스스로를 바로잡을 수 있는 기회이다.

어머니는 킹 가문의 사람이 되기 전에 뛰어난 보컬리스트이자 음악가였으며, 그 실력과 학업 성취를 인정받아 보스턴의 명문 뉴잉글랜드 음악원으로 장학금을 받고 입학하셨다.

Before my mother was a King, she was a gifted vocalist and musician, whose skill and academia garnered her a scholarship to the prestigious New England Conservatory for Music in Boston.

내가 보기에 넬슨 만델라가 하나님의 택함을 받아 남아프리카공화국을 이끌게 된 것은 결코 우연이 아니었다. 수감되어 가족과 사랑하는 이들과 격리되고도, 감옥에서 나와 그토록 강력한 사랑의 정신과 화해를 향한 열망을 품을 수 있는 사람은 세상에 드물다.

In my view, it was no accident that Nelson Mandela was chosen by God to lead the people of South Africa. There are very few people who could be imprisoned, kept away from their family and loved ones, and exit that same prison with such a powerful spirit of love and a desire for reconciliation.

킹의 비폭력 사상은 생각하고 살아가는 방식이며, 사회적 및 체제적 변화를 위한 일에만 국한되지 않는다.

King-ian nonviolence is a way of thinking and living and is not confined to the work of social and systemic change.

아버지는 우리가 더 도덕적인 국가가 되도록, 그리고 우리가 하는 모든 일에서 도덕적 우위를 차지하도록 진정한 기준을 세워주셨다.

많은 업적 중에서도 어머니는 마틴 루터 킹 주니어 기념일 제정 운동의 지도자로 자주 꼽힌다.

Among her many accomplishments, my mother is often identified as the leader of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday movement.

내가 이루고자 하는 것은 아버지가 하신 말씀, 즉 "우리는 형제자매로서 함께 살아갈 방법을 찾아야 하며, 그렇지 않으면 어리석게도 함께 멸망할 것"이라는 말씀을 실현하는 것이다.

What I'm trying to do is fulfill what my father said, which is, 'We have to find a way to live together as brothers and sisters, or together we're going to perish as fools.'

나는 미국인들이 우리가 소비를 통해 지지하는 미디어의 종류에 대해 좀 더 주의를 기울일 것을 촉구한다. 우리는 폭력을 미화하는 미디어에 대한 투자는 줄이고, 사랑과 연민, 그리고 인간 본성의 가장 고결한 가치를 높여주는 엔터테인먼트에 더 많은 투자를 해야 한다.

I am urging Americans to be more careful about the kinds of media we support with our consumer spending. We've got to invest less in the media that glorifies violence and more in entertainment that lifts up the values of love, compassion, and the best in human nature.

어떤 이들은 나를 오만하다고 느낀다. 사람들이 나의 진심을 알지 못하기에 참으로 안타까운 일이다.

Some people feel like I'm arrogant. It's unfortunate, because people don't know my heart.

킹 가문의 사람이 되기 전에 어머니는 평화 운동가이자 용기 있는 지도자였으며, 뛰어난 예술가이셨다.

미디어, 광고, 엔터테인먼트를 포함한 사회 모든 부문에서 진실, 투명성, 그리고 대화가 이루어져야 할 때는 이미 한참 지났습니다. 우리는 서로에게 도전하고, 이해를 넓히며, 더욱 공정하고 인도적이며 평화로운 세상을 만들어갈 수 있습니다.

The time has long since come for truth, transparency, and talks in every sector of society, including media, advertisement and entertainment. We can challenge each other, gain understanding, and create a more just, humane, and peaceful world.

비폭력을 선택한다고 해서 우리가 사랑하는 사람들을 포함해 다른 이들에게 결코 화가 나거나 속상해하지 않는다는 뜻은 아니다.

Choosing nonviolence does not mean that one will never get angry or become upset with others, including the ones we love.

어머니는 자녀들과 모든 아이들이 더 나은 국가와 세상에서 자랄 수 있도록 수많은 희생을 치르셨다.

My mother made countless sacrifices so that her children - and all children - could grow up in a better nation and world.

우리는 미래에 대한 믿음을 되찾고, 정부, 법 집행 기관, 비영리 부문, 기업, 교육, 미디어, 엔터테인먼트, 예술, 그리고 전 세계 시민 사회에 비폭력이 지배적인 선택이 되도록 서로 손을 잡아야 합니다.

We must rediscover our faith in the future and join with one another to ensure that nonviolence is the prevalent choice for government, law enforcement, the non-profit sector, business, education, media, entertainment, arts, and for the global citizenry.

미디어 산업은 미디어 속 폭력의 미화를 자제해야 할 책임이 있습니다. 또한 미국을 사랑하는 소비자들이 유익한 콘텐츠를 제공하는 미디어를 장려하고 필요하다면 가장 큰 해악을 끼치는 곳을 불매 운동하는 등, 선별적인 후원 캠페인으로 이러한 노력을 지지해야 할 책임도 소비들에게 있습니다.

It is incumbent on the media industry to discourage the glorification of media violence. It is also incumbent on consumers who love America to support this effort with selective patronage campaigns to encourage media that provides uplifting content and to boycott the worst offenders, if necessary.

현재 수많은 국가의 사람들이 비인간적인 임금과 건강하지 못한 환경에서 일하고 있는 노동 관행과 법 집행을 포함하여, 비폭력을 우리 문화의 핵심 가치로 삼는다면 긍정적인 전 세계적 진전을 위해 얼마나 많은 가능성이 열릴지 생각해 보십시오.

Consider all of the possibilities for positive global progress if we utilized nonviolence as the central value of our culture, encompassing our law enforcement and labor practices, which currently include people in numerous nations working for inhumane wages in unhealthy conditions.

어머니와 에셀 케네디는 절친한 친구가 되어 남편들과 함께 공유했던 여러 대의를 위해 함께 일했습니다. 두 사람은 총기 규제 운동을 활성화하기 위해 '기억해야 할 시간(A Time to Remember)'을 공동 주도하기도 했습니다.

My mother and Ethel Kennedy became good friends and worked together on a number of causes they had shared with their husbands. They together co-chaired 'A Time to Remember' to mobilize a movement for gun control.

우리는 엄청난 트라우마를 집단적으로 짊어지고 살아가고 있습니다. 특히 아프리카계 미국인 공동체에 속한 이들은 더욱 그렇습니다. 우리가 정신을 바짝 차리지 않으면 이 트라우마가 우리를 집어삼키고 우리는 스스로 파멸하게 될 것입니다.

We are carrying collectively a lot of trauma, especially those of us in the African-American community. And if we're not careful, it'll overtake us, and we'll self-destruct.

सोलह साल की उम्र से ही मेरा गुस्से से संघर्ष रहा है। यह आज भी मेरे सबसे बड़े शत्रुओं में से एक है। मुझे हमेशा याद रखना पड़ता है कि ईश्वर का वचन कहता है, 'क्रोध करने में धीमे बनो।'

I wrestled with anger from the age of sixteen. It's still one of my nemeses. I have to remember that the word of God says, 'Be slow to anger.'

मैं नहीं जानता कि आप इस बात को समझते हैं या नहीं, लेकिन गुस्सा, गुस्सा ही होता है। उसकी अपनी कोई बुद्धि नहीं होती। उसमें कोई तर्क नहीं होता। वह बस अंधा होता है और केवल तहस-नहस करना चाहता है।

I don't know if you realize this, but anger is anger. It has no mind. It has no rationality. It's mad, and it just wants to destroy.

हम सभी को अपनी व्यक्तिगत महत्वाकांक्षाओं से परे जाकर एक ऐसे जीवन के प्रति समर्पित होना चाहिए जो दूसरों के लिए भी हो।

All of us have to be committed to a life beyond our own aspirations.

मतभेदों और दूरियों से निपटने के मामले में मेरे पिता ने हमें बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण मार्गदर्शन दिया।

My father provided some very important guidance in how we deal with conflict and polarization.

हमेशा यह बात समझें कि आपका सबसे बड़ा समर्थक हो या विरोधी, वह भी मानव परिवार का ही एक हिस्सा है; भले ही उसमें कुछ छोटी-कमें या यहां तक कि कुछ खूबियां भी हों, लेकिन वह उस इंसानी परिवार का ही हिस्सा है।

Always realize that even your strongest advocate and opponent is a part of the human family; albeit they may have small shortcomings and even strength in them, they are part of that human family.

ब्लैक लाइव्स मैटर के प्रयासों के लिए भगवान का शुक्र है - इस दौर में हमने लोगों की सोच में एक ऐसा अभूतपूर्व बदलाव देखा है, जो डैडी के समय में श्वेत विशेषाधिकार को लेकर देखने को नहीं मिला था।

Thank God for the efforts of Black Lives Matter - we've seen an awakening in this era in a way we didn't see in Daddy's era in terms of people coming to grips with white privilege.

क्या हम वाकई सफल होना चाहते हैं, या सिर्फ चर्चा में बने रहने के लिए शोर मचाना चाहते हैं? या सिर्फ रिकॉर्ड के लिए कुछ दर्ज कराना चाहते हैं? मैं आपसे सच कह रहा हूँ, मैं रिकॉर्ड के लिए चीज़ें दर्ज कराते-कराते थक चुका हूँ। अब मैं असल बदलाव और क्रांति देखना चाहता हूँ।

Do we want to be successful, or do we just want to make noise just to make it? Or just to put something on the record? I'll be honest with you, I'm tired of putting stuff on the record. I'm ready to see some real transformation and change.

मेरा सबसे पसंदीदा उपदेशक अब मेरे साथ नहीं हैं, और वे मेरे पिता हैं।

My favorite preacher is not with me anymore, and that's my father.

जब मेरे पिता का निधन हुआ, तो उन्होंने हमारे लिए जो धन छोड़ा था, वह मेरी माँ के बिना एक साल के भीतर ही खत्म हो जाता... मुमकिन है कि हमें भी सरकारी मदद पर निर्भर होना पड़ता।

When my father died, the money he left us would have dried up within a year were it not for my mother... We might very well have ended up on welfare.

बॉयफ्रेंड्स को लेकर बात करने के लिए मेरे पास पिता नहीं थे। परिवार के माहौल में एक स्त्री और पुरुष का रिश्ता कैसा होता है, यह सिखाने वाला मेरे पास कोई पिता नहीं था। इसलिए, मैंने अपना पूरा जीवन युवाओं को मेंटर करने यानी उनका मार्गदर्शन करने में समर्पित कर दिया है। मैं उन युवाओं को लेकर पूरी तरह दृढ़ प्रतिज्ञ हूँ जिन्हें पिता-पुत्री के प्यार और रिश्ते से वंचित रहना पड़ा है।

I didn't have a father to deal with about boyfriends. I didn't have a father to show me how a man and woman relate in a family setting. Therefore, I have given over my life to mentoring young people. I'm adamant about young people who have been denied a father/daughter relationship.

कुछ बहुत बड़ा हो रहा है। मैं एक ऐसे समाज की बात कर रहा हूँ जो अन्याय को यों ही बने रहने की इजाज़त नहीं देता—बिना अपनी आवाज़ उठाए और बिना हमारी मतदान प्रणाली के ज़रिए प्रभावी बदलाव लाने के वास्ते संगठित हुए बिना।

Something big is going on. I'm talking about a society that refuses to allow injustice just to persist without making our voices heard and without organizing to bring about effective change through our voting system.

मेरे पिताजी ऐसे व्यक्ति थे जो—सबसे पहले तो वे किसी एक पार्टी से बंधे नहीं थे, वे निष्पक्ष थे। उन्होंने सत्ता में चाहे जो भी सरकार हो, सबके साथ मिलकर काम करना सीख लिया था।

My dad was one who - he was nonpartisan, first of all. He learned to work with whatever administration was in office.

कुछ लोगों के विपरीत, मेरे पिता नवनिर्वाचित राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्प से मिलने की कोशिश करते, क्योंकि वे यह बात अच्छी तरह समझते हैं कि न्याय, स्वतंत्रता और समानता के एजेंडे को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए, आप सिर्फ विरोध और प्रतिरोध नहीं कर सकते। आपको बातचीत का रास्ता भी अपनाना होगा।

Unlike some people, my father would try to meet with President-elect Trump because he recognizes that in order to move the agenda of justice, freedom, and equality forward, you can't just protest and resist. You also have to negotiate as well.

जब भी मैं इन नस्लीय मंचों पर जाती हूँ, तो वहाँ एक जैसे लोग ही होते हैं, या फिर प्रगतिशील और उदारवादी लोग होते हैं। इसलिए मैंने कहा, 'किसी न किसी मोड़ पर, हमें इन प्रगतिशील, उदारवादी और रूढ़िवादी लोगों को एक मंच पर लाना ही होगा।'

Every time I go to these racial forums, it is people who are alike, or it is progressives and liberals. So I said, 'At some point, we've got to bring the progressives and the liberals and the conservatives together.'

हम इन दर्दनाक पूर्वाग्रहों और उलझी हुई भावनाओं को कैसे समझें, उनसे कैसे पार पाएं और संघर्ष में त्याग व कष्ट सहते हुए कैसे आगे बढ़ें? और उन छवियों व चित्रणों का हम क्या करें, जो उन्हें बढ़ावा देने वालों की जानकारी में हो या न हो, मानवीय प्रगति की राह में बाधा बन सकते हैं?

How do we navigate and process painful biases and conflicting emotions and press on to be sacrificial and suffer in the struggle? And what do we do with images and depictions that, known or unknown to those perpetuating them, may contribute to the impediment of human progress?

हमारे सामने यह दुविधा है कि हम महत्वपूर्ण मुद्दों और सामाजिक कुरीतियों पर अपना पक्ष कैसे रखें या प्रदर्शित करें या करें भी या नहीं। हम अमानवीयता की इतनी सारी घटनाओं से घिरे रहते हैं कि यह तय करना मुश्किल हो जाता है कि मानव प्रगति में हमारी अपनी क्या भूमिका है।

We are faced with the dilemma of how or if we demonstrate where we stand on critical issues and corresponding social ills. We are also bombarded with so many instances of inhumanity that it can be difficult to determine what part we play in human progress.

मेरी माँ के 'किंग' परिवार की बहू बनने से पहले, वे पेड़ों पर चढ़ती थीं और लड़कों से कुश्ती लड़ती थीं। और जीतती भी थीं। बचपन में ही कोरेटा स्कॉट ने यह साबित कर दिया था कि उनका लिंग उनकी सफलता के रास्ते में बाधा नहीं बन सकता, और न ही यह उनकी ताकत को कम कर सकता है।

Before my mother was a King, she climbed trees and wrestled with boys. And won. Even as a child, Coretta Scott demonstrated that her gender would not deter her success, nor did it detract from her strength.

मेरी माँ एक ऐसी मजबूत पत्नी, जीवनसंगिनी और सहकर्मी थीं, जिसकी एक प्रभावी नेता बनने के लिए मार्टिन लूथरा किंग जूनियर को जरूरत थी, और उन्होंने कई मौकों पर इस बात को स्वीकार भी किया था।

My mother was the strong wife, partner, and co-worker Martin Luther King, Jr. needed to be an effective leader, and he said so on many occasions.

1985 में, मैंने रंगभेद के खिलाफ एक प्रदर्शन में अपनी माँ का साथ दिया था, जिसके चलते वाशिंगटन डी.सी. स्थित दक्षिण अफ़्रीकी दूतावास के बाहर हमें गिरफ्तार कर लिया गया था। और जब जोहान्सबर्ग में दक्षिण अफ़्रीका के पहले स्वतंत्र चुनावों में नवनिर्वाचित राष्ट्रपति मंडेला ने जीत हासिल की थी, तब मेरी माँ उनके ठीक बगल में मौजूद थीं।
