今天学习了五句话。
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free.
One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and chains of discrimination.
One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity.
One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land.
And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

10. 写作赏析
在致敬独立宣言后，这一段描述黑人现状。一百年后的今天，黑人仍然没有取得自由。接下来用三句话来论证这个观点，首先表明主要原因是种族隔离和歧视，这导致黑人不仅没能获得物质自由，享受同一片土地上发展起来的经济福利，而且也没能获得精神自由，在社会上被排挤，在出生的土地上被压榨。
句式工整，描述精准，气势宏大，震撼人心。
