In conclusion, I wish to quote my own words during my trial in 1964. 最后，我想引用一段我在1964年受审时说过的话。

They are as true today as they were then. I quote: 这段话在当时是正确的，在今天依然正确。我说：

I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. 我为反对白人统治而斗争，也为反对黑人统治而斗争。

I have cherished³ the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and with equal opportunity. 我怀有一个建立民主和自由社会的美好理想，在这个社会里，人人和睦相处，机会均等。

It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. 我希望为这一理想而生存，并去实现它。

But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die. 但是如果需要，我也准备为这个理想献出生命。
