[Terry Carter]: Ou pral jwenn bonbon fòtin. Yo pa pwofesè espirityèl, men yo reprezante divès tradisyon ak fason koneksyon imen. Se konsa, louvri youn epi pran yon minit oswa de pataje sò ou ak tabmates ou yo.
[o9F0qYH9Geo_SPEAKER_05]: Tout se byen.
[Terry Carter]: Tout se byen. Mwen espere tout moun ka chita. Èspere ke tou sa ki ekri nan bonbon fòtin ou a, si ou gen ase chans jwenn youn, Li gen chans pou ou epi li prevwa lavi ki long ak anpil benediksyon. Lè sa a, ann ale. Kite m prezante Stacey Moore, yon minis ki gen lisans ak rezidan pou tout lavi nan West Medford k ap priye pou rasanbleman jodi a. Stacey se yon fanm Medford ki gen lafwa pwofon ak lyen nan kominote a. Stacey.
[SPEAKER_21]: Bon maten. Kite m pran sa a. Jodi a se jou pafè pou onore eritaj Reveran Martin Luther King, Jr. Kounye a, avèk respè pou kwayans pèsonèl ak tradisyon yo, mwen ta renmen envite nou tout pou vin jwenn mwen nan lapriyè, rele lespri lanmou, lespri lanmou, kominote ak konpasyon. Espri an jeneral, nou remèsye w pou prezans ou pandan n ap rasanble pou reflete ak selebre Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. Nou remèsye Doktè King pou lanmou li pou limanite, lafwa li, vizyon li, ak travay san pran souf li pou akonpli misyon li. Malgre ke rèv ou yo te pasyèlman reyalize nan tan ki toujou ap chanje jodi a, toujou gen anpil travay pou fè. Nou mande pou nou reyini ansanm kòm yon kominote epi anbrase ansèyman Dr King yo. Lè nou kite isit la jodi a, nou pral ale avèk yon angajman pou tèt nou ak youn ak lòt pou nou defann chanjman nan kominote nou yo. Ekite, egalite ak jistis pou tout moun. Amèn.
[Terry Carter]: Mèsi, Stacey, pou mete kwayans sa yo an aksyon. Ou te ede kreye atmosfè a pou tout sa nou te planifye fè jodi a. Kounye a, nan akeyi fòmèl mwen nan West Medford Community Center, kite m prezante w Lisa M. Crossman, Direktè Egzekitif, Lisa te pase kèk ane abondan ak òganizasyon nou an epi li kontinye transfòme avèk metriz kay kominotè nou yo an sant pwosede ki vibwan e vibran nan kominote istorikman Nwa a pandan l ap anbrase chanjman enpòtan epi ogmante divèsite nan kominote k ap grandi nou an. Tanpri ban nou yon ti lanmou.
[Crossman]: Byen fèt pou tout moun, donk mèsi pou tout moun ki te vini jodi a, ak yon mèsi espesyal pou Terry Carter ki te mete ansanm yon gwo show, mèsi, mèsi. Nou kontan gen nou tout tounen ane sa a. Pou nou nan West Medford Community Center, se vrèman nouvo ane nou an. Sa a se vrèman pwen depa pou nou rekòmanse epi fikse nouvo objektif. Kòm ou konnen, lè li rive objektif, se vwayaj la ki enpòtan. Sa a pa gen anyen fè ak desten. Wi, li pa gen anyen fè ak sò. Sa a se sou vwayaj nou an. Se konsa, jis kèk travay nan kay trè rapid. Nou ta apresye li si ou ta ka mete telefòn ou a vibre oswa fèmen. Twalèt la tou pre kidonk ale lè ou vle. Men, mwen panse anvan, si tout moun ta ka vire nan vwazen yo epi yo di, "Mwen byen kontan ou la." Oke, tann, tann, pa bay manti kounye a. Koulye a, ann fè l 'ankò. Mwen kontan anpil Ou la. Oke, gwo. Kidonk pa twò lontan, byento, mwen te gen opòtinite pou konekte ak King's College epi fè kèk fòmasyon kote yo t'ap pale de kominote renmen anpil yo, ki se reyèlman sou fason ou konpòte, ki jan ou parèt kòm yon moun, parèt ak lapè ak jantiyès ak lanmou epi nou pa matche ak entansite a nan sitiyasyon an, kit se kòlè, tristès, enkyetid, Se pou nou rete fidèl ak fòm byenneme sa a, se pou nou renmen, epi pou nou renmen an retou. Nou pèmèt nou renmen. Se konsa, pandan n ap antre nan ane sa a, nou vrèman mete ton an ak karaktè ak valè epi rete fò nan sa paske Nou tout dakò ke nou tout se moun. Nou tout isit la jodi a. Nou pa fè anyen jodi a pou nou reveye epi rive isit la. Mwen panse ke nou tout ka dakò sou sa. Sa a se kote nou kòmanse. Mwen kontan travay ak kèk nan timoun yo nan Medford. Nou gen yon pwogram apre lekòl. Yo gwo. Yo gwo. Men, sèl bagay mwen remake se ke nou pa t 'kapab kominike. Nou te kriye youn ak lòt, men se pa te kòlè. Nou tou senpleman pa konnen ki jan yo kominike. Mwen panse ke lè yo fèmen ak COVID ak tout sa k ap pase, timoun sa yo te pèdi wout yo. Ak klima a nou wè sou rezo sosyal yo Se tankou fason moun kominike sou ekran televizyon nou yo e nou vrèman bezwen kontwole sa. Nou reyèlman bezwen fè yon etap tounen e nou reyèlman bezwen mete ton an pou timoun yo epi montre yo kisa sa santi yo kominike, kisa li santi l tankou pou koute lòt moun, kisa li santi l tankou gen senpati pou lòt moun. Se poutèt sa jodi a nou kòmanse ak pwen sa a. Mwen pap pèdi tan ankò. Se te yon bèl pèfòmans ak enèjik. Mesye sa yo metrize metye yo e mwen kontan pou nou wè sa nou genyen pou nou jodi a. Apre sa, mwen ta renmen akeyi Majistra Breanna Lungo-Koehn nan Vil Medford.
[Breanna Lungo-Koehn]: Mèsi, Lisa. Mèsi Terry. Bonjou tout moun epi byenvini nan selebrasyon sa a nan lavi ak eritaj Dr. Se yon onè pou mwen isit la avèk nou tout jodi a pou komemore lavi l. Mèsi a tout moun ki te fè bèl evènman sa a posib, mèsi ak West Medford Community Center pou òganize ak òganize evènman sa a, ak mèsi espesyal a Direktè Egzekitif St. Louis Lisa Crossman ak Terry Carter. Mèsi a Dyosèz Raphael pou akeyi nou, ak Frances Wojcicki, Direktè Biwo Divèsite, Ekite ak Enklizyon, Haywood Family Foundation, Medford Community Media, ak Wegmans. Mèsi a SWAT Depatman Lapolis Boston ki pran retrèt Darryl Owens paske li te la epi pataje kèk mo avèk nou. Gen opòtinite pou pale aklè sou defi nou fè fas kòm yon kominote ak siksè nou te genyen nan bati relasyon ki pi enpòtan youn ak lòt se yon eksperyans imilite. Mwen rekonesan ke nou te kapab mache vwayaj sa a nan jistis ak konpreyansyon ansanm. Li klè, nou gen anpil travay pou nou fè antanke gouvènman non sèlman pou solidifye konfyans nan kominote yo, men tou pou pi byen sèvi moun ki istorikman pa te gen okenn ajans nan men moun k ap pran desizyon. Mwen rekonesan dèske n ap chanje sa nan Medford, epi avèk èd tout moun, nou te fè pwogrè enpòtan konsa, men nou poko fini. Mwen ap tann yon gwo evènman. Mèsi.
[Terry Carter]: Anpil nan Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Travay li kòm yon lidè jistis sosyal ak dwa moun soti nan edikasyon kretyen li ak lavi legliz li. Legliz la te gen e li toujou genyen mizik levanjil ki gen kè ak nanm li. Anbrase pwòp pa nou Stacey Clayton pandan l ap sèvi lè l ap chante kantik tradisyonèl pi renmen Dr King, “Precious Lord, Take My Hand.”
[Clayton]: Bon maten. Mèsi.
[SPEAKER_04]: Senyè ki gen anpil valè, pran men m, gide m, ede m kanpe. Paske mwen fatige. Atravè tanpèt la, atravè lannwit lan. Chè Seyè, gide m 'nan limyè a. Kenbe men mwen. Senyè ki gen anpil valè, Senyè ki gen anpil valè, ou se fondasyon lavi mwen. Ou se wòch mwen. Ou se espwa mwen. Ou se mizik mwen. Ou sipòte m epi ban m fòs lè m ale nan move chemen an. Sa a se men mwen, renmen presye. Lè chemen m yo vin fè nwa, Seyè renmen anpil, pwoche bò kote l.
[SPEAKER_05]: Tande rèl mwen, tande apèl mwen, kenbe men mwen pou mwen pa vle
[SPEAKER_04]: Pran men mwen, Seyè ki gen anpil valè, epi gide m lakay mwen. Kenbe men mwen, Seyè ki gen anpil valè. Lakay.
[Terry Carter]: Mèsi Stacey. Kòm toujou, mizik ou kreye a ini nou kòm yon fanmi imen ki ranpli ak lafwa ak espwa. Stacy te akonpaye pa mwen renmen anpil zanmi Jonathan Fagan. Ou pral tande plis nan men Jonatan pita. Kòm rezilta, lidèchip Doktè King ak kapasite l pou l konekte ak moun te pote moun ki gen talan, divès, ak pasyone nan batay pou dwa sivil ak jistis sosyal. Twa nan moun ki gen talan, divès ak pasyone sa yo se fanm Afriken Ameriken ki gen non yo sinonim ak mouvman an. Jodi a nou gen chans pou nou gen yon lòt fwa ankò Maya N. Cotter, yon aktè ak pwofesyonèl teyat ki soti Brooklyn, New York, ki te dramatize twa lèt remèsiman semi-fiktiv Marian Wright Edelman, Maya Angelou ak Diane Nash Bevel te ekri Doktè Cotter. Lèt yo pral trase nan mo aktyèl chak otè, enpresyon, ak refleksyon. Nou pral pran yon ti moman pou mete sèn nan epi answit prezante Maya ak Carter.
[SPEAKER_08]: 亲爱的马丁，我知道你现在的心有多么沉重，肩上扛着世界的重量一定是多么累，就像一本地图集扛着天空，而奥林匹斯山的所有众神都在凡人的邪恶、疾病和问题面前退却。 正如我的创造者要求我永远做的那样，我又回到了倡导儿童的正确道路上。 我在华盛顿见到了鲍比·肯尼迪。 我向你们解释了你们对我们人民中最贫穷的人，特别是这么多婴儿的贫困所感受到的痛苦、负担和渴望。 当我正要离开时， 他给我传达了一条信息给你。 他说了一些我没想到来自波士顿婆罗门家庭的富有的白人政客会说的话。 他让我告诉你把穷人带到华盛顿。 没有关于三K党的事情 或越南或自由乘车者或卡罗莱纳州、里士满和纳什维尔的食客。 也许你的愿景被野心、无知或幻想所蒙蔽。 没关系。 我知道这些是我们都想听到的话。 1966 年和 1967 年，人们非常清楚地意识到，如果政治权利和公民权利想要有意义，就必须解决黑人的社会经济问题。 但他们也知道，我们社区的饥饿和贫困问题与教堂爆炸和三K党关系一样，正在杀死我们的人民。 在这一认识和随之而来的惊愕中，我们当然是志同道合的。 肯尼迪问我密西西比州的情况怎么样，我告诉他，我对一切看起来如此缓慢以及到目前为止进展如此之少感到多么震惊。 他知道这个国家担心越南战争，而政府的资金最终会流向那里。 约翰逊的思想如此根深蒂固，以至于人们忘记了全国各地这些贫困社区正在发生的事情。 我向罗伯特·肯尼迪表达了我的沮丧，告诉他我会见你，他让我告诉你把穷人带到华盛顿。 嗯，当时，你看，他正在竞选总统和民主党提名，我知道我们需要让国家看到穷人，看到他们的痛苦和他们的需求。 因此，金博士，我自愿成为您的信息储存库。 在亚特兰大那间简陋的办公室里拜访你，一本现代地图集，这就是信息。 我知道你就在那里，独自坐着，并且你一直处于你惊人智慧的边缘，试图找出下一步要采取的行动。 和你一样，我也对如何应对战争和我们周围的贫困感到沮丧。 与此同时，我们参与了为我们的启蒙计划报销的斗争，我们都知道该计划对于解决美国儿童贫困的棘手问题至关重要。 当我告诉你罗伯特·肯尼迪说，把穷人带到华盛顿时， 他的脸是如何发光的。 哦，我瘫痪了。 你让我觉得你是传递信息的天使。 是的，一个天使。 最终，你们决定向贫困宣战。 尽管内部存在很多分歧，许多聪明的年轻人呼吁不同的重点。 现在，在你最后一个周日的布道中，你告诉你在梅德福的母亲，你要宣讲为什么如果我们不与所有需要基本生活必需品的人分享我们的财富、我们富人的祝福、我们的财富，美国可能会下地狱。 你说过，我们会下地狱。 当我们这个非常富裕和充满希望的国家有 1100 万贫困儿童时，他呼吁为穷人开展一场运动。 我将永远祝贺你，并感谢你有勇气如此爱我们。 我希望有一天我能有勇气如此爱我们。 玛丽安·赖特·埃德尔曼，您在战斗中。 亲爱的博士。 1960年，作为一名单身母亲和奋斗的女演员，我接受了南方基督教领袖会议纽约办事处北方协调员的职位。 正是以这种身份，我认识了您，金博士。 嗯，我只在 SCLC 工作了六个月，但你告诉我你很感谢我的贡献，特别是各个筹款公司的贡献。 在描述今生考验我人性的大多数事物时，我的默认立场是写作和诗歌。 请允许我表达我对你的钦佩之情。 你的感激之情。 我出生在奋斗之城。 圣人 1928年的圣路易斯不是佐治亚州的石山，但也不是黑人的天堂。 我的父母分开了。 我的祖母抚养我长大。 我很早就生了孩子。 我试图教育他应该走的路，但男孩的生活中需要优秀、坚强的男人。 他们只是这么做。 纽约打来电话，我就去跳舞了。 一场绝望的迁徙让位于另一场。 波吉和贝丝带我去了定居者营地和家乡的舒适环境。 到了1960年，他已经熟悉了美国的考验和动乱。 但我听到你在哈莱姆区的一座教堂里讲话。 马丁兄弟，你俘获了我的心。 你在哈林区赢得了很多人的心。 你只是另一个黑人的重生，黑人的重生，来自非洲的光荣黑人王子。 最重要的是，你强迫我们做某事。 利用我们所拥有的、我们所知道的以及我们是谁，然后做一些事情。 和我的好朋友戈弗雷一起，我喜欢自由歌舞表演。 她能歌善舞、娱乐大众，黑人精英们说，是的，我的妹妹。 西德尼·波蒂埃、奥齐·戴维斯、鲁比·迪伊和洛林·汉斯伯里来看我们跳舞、唱歌和玩耍。 到达 SCLC 金库的每一分钱都受到祝福。 你为此感谢了我。 你说你很感激。 我可能不是 SCLC 中的贝亚德·鲁斯汀 (Bayard Rustin)，但你让我做了一些事情。 我拿起我所拥有的、我所知道的、我是谁，并做了一些事情。 我尽力提供帮助，表现出被认可的样子。 与你面对面的相遇即使不是神奇的，也是具有纪念意义的。 你比我想象的要矮。 而且还这么年轻。 你们有一段轻松的友谊，却令人心烦意乱。 你很有趣。 事实上。 我不能久留。 就像S一样。 路易斯终于成为哈莱姆区，哈莱姆区最终必须成为新的事物和下一个事物。 变化仍然是我们唯一不变的。 20 世纪 60 年代末，我遇到了我自己的南非自由斗士。 我做某事的时间变成了做其他事的时间。 当我离开 SCLC 茧时，我祝愿大家在这一年里取得无限的成功和进步。 我和世界各地数百万黑人一起说：你是我们的领袖。 我们不能希望有更好的事情了。 美国不能希望有更好的事情了。 马丁·路德·金博士 顺风顺水，永远扬帆起航。 玛雅·安杰卢. 亲爱的金牧师博士： 1963 年 8 月 28 日，当近 250,000 人在华盛顿游行中向林肯纪念堂游行时，在您发表精彩的《我有一个梦想》演讲前几个小时，我受邀与其他五位女性一起站起来，在向美国黑人妇女和自由战士致敬的官方活动中受到认可。 我，黛安·纳什·贝维尔，与罗莎·帕克斯和黛西·贝茨， 事后看来，我很遗憾没有去那里。 詹姆斯和我决定在我们位于阿拉巴马州伯明翰的汽车旅馆房间里观看仪式，我们在床上提供客房服务，并努力为下一场大战做好休息。 那天早上在伯明翰，当人们开始聚集登上公共汽车时，詹姆斯对我说： 黛安，你知道，既然大家都去了华盛顿，如果我们留在这里就可以休息一下，我觉得这很好。 我们费了好大劲才招人上车，结果我们都累坏了。 我不知道他们会在舞台上认出我，但我们在电视上看到了这一时刻。 那是一种很奇怪的感觉。 我想走到电视前说：哦，我去不了那里。 我的第一次政治觉醒发生在 1959 年，当时我还是纳什维尔菲斯克大学的一名本科生。 瞧，我想去南方看看到底是什么样子。 我所看到的很有启发性。 我在一些餐馆买不到食物。 我什至不能去公共图书馆。 现在，我知道我正在这里向一位传教士讲道。 但人们常常认为，我们运动之前的种族隔离是指你不能去餐馆，黑人必须坐在公共汽车后面。 但事情远不止于此。 即使对于我们年轻的大学生来说也是如此。 每天都有辱骂。 一个白人可以从你身边走过并说出可怕的话。 而如果你敢于反击或说出什么话，你可能会被打败。 要么被捕，要么被杀。 当我试图学习新事物并拓宽视野时，我只是感到厌恶。 我认为隔离恰恰相反：限制、约束、限制、侮辱。 每次我遵守隔离规则时，我都觉得我承认自己太自卑，无法使用这些设施或走进前门。 我的改变来自詹姆斯·劳森在校园里举办的研讨会。 他分享了他从印度甘地那里学到的非暴力运动技巧。 我吸取了所学，当上了学生中央委员会主席。 我们策划了 1960 年的抗议活动，使纳什维尔成为南方第一个取消午餐柜台和公共住宿种族隔离的城市。 最终，我共同创立了学生非暴力协调委员会。 我亲爱的朋友约翰·刘易斯当时和我在一起。 我们认为我们可以有所作为。 金博士，我知道你知道这一切。 你的承认非常友善。 你说，1962 年，我是对酒吧和餐馆的种族隔离进行非暴力攻击的推动者。 1961 年 5 月 14 日，我们的自由骑士在阿拉巴马州遭到袭击。 我是那些决定自由乘车应该继续下去的人之一，也是那些为纳什维尔学生中央委员会成员组织交通前往阿拉巴马州以完成自由乘车者开始的旅程的人之一。 我想表明，你不能通过施加暴力来阻止某种非暴力运动。 这是关于爱的力量的一课。 金博士，您教给了我这个真理，我很感激这一课。 在我因试图结束白人邮政工人威廉·摩尔发起的正义游行而被捕后不久，我就开始参加他们在华盛顿的游行。 1963 年 4 月 23 日，他被枪杀，他的旅程在阿拉巴马州结束。 我出狱后，詹姆斯来接我回到伯明翰，并问我对在白宫草坪上建立全国营地以巩固和坚持运动目标的想法有何看法。 我喜欢这个想法，并召开了一次会议来讨论这个主题，邀请参与者，寻找地点并监控物流。 金博士，当您离开时，您和您的一些团队成员一起参加了那次会议。 策划和组织那次游行的想法一直伴随着你，但我并不感到被排除在外。 我只是想让它成真。 我在伯明翰的教堂和公交车站宣传了这次游行。 八月下旬，当詹姆斯和我入住酒店房间时，我最不想做的事情就是在这场向华盛顿举行的纪念性游行中为我在这场运动中所做的工作而获奖。 嗯，我们非常努力地招人上车，但我们真的很累。 现在，运动也告诉我，时不时地休息一下肯定是一件好事。 我祈祷您也有时间休息，金博士。 我们的许多希望和梦想都取决于您所教给我们的内容。 我们将永远感激您的教训。 真诚的服务和牺牲，黛安·纳什·贝维尔。
[Terry Carter]: Se konsa, isit la li ap pratike diskou Ameriken li seryezman. Mwen kriye tankou yon ti bebe la. Mèsi anpil Maya. Ou fè manman w ak papa w fyè. Pandan m ap ekri a, mwen konnen ou se moun ki pi bon pou travay la. Mwen vle remèsye ou anpil paske w te pran tan pou kreye kominote ak atizay avèk nou jodi a. Maya Noemi Cote. Oke, si w vle kite powèt ki nan mwen an fouye nan pwòp bous mwen an, mwen pral envite pyanis mwen an ak fondatè Medford Jazz Festival Jonathan Fagan vin jwenn mwen epi jwe yon pyès nou te jwe ansanm kèk fwa. An reyalite, dènyèman nou te pibliye yon CD mizik tout longè ki chita nan kafou djaz ak jistis sosyal ki rele “The Ally Project.” Si w enterese, ou ka achte CD a jodi a. Men yon echantiyon chante sa a. Non li se "Chè Motherland". Mwen ka renmen peyi sa tou. Mwen pa bezwen fèt nan bank sa yo nan Barney. Li pa t nesesèman pitit Pentacook, Quinnipiac, oswa Moicano. Li pa t 'bezwen gen yon zansèt Pilgrim oswa yon Yankee Connecticut soti nan tribinal wa Arthur a. Mwen ta ka Dahomian, Aktik, oswa pitit gason solèy Karayib la ak lonbraj Amazon. Mwen ka renmen peyi sa tou. Kat vèt mwen an se te yon tikè akeyi nan yon nouvo lavi nan yon nouvo peyi. Paspò mwen te ranpli ak nouvo espwa ak nouvo rèv. Valiz mwen an plen ak nouvo dezi ak kèk laperèz. Petèt mwen pa t 'wè siy nan pò a ki te di: Ban m' refij la nan fatig ou, povrete ou a, mas ou anvi respire gratis, refij mizerab ou sou rivaj ki gen anpil moun. Voye sa yo ban mwen, moun ki dekouraje ak bat nan tanpèt la. Mwen te leve lanp mwen toupre Golden Gate la. Petèt mwen pa te wè dam lan ak lanp lan, men mwen te wè vil ki klere byen klè sou ti mòn lan, epi nanm mwen te reponn. Mwen ka renmen peyi sa tou. Mwen renmen mòn Rocky li yo ak preri woule. Mwen renmen chante levanjil yo ak bat fou yo. Mwen renmen wout ou asfalte ak patwon ki fèt pou kouri. Mwen renmen bidonvil yo ki gen anpil moun ak etajman iben. Mwen renmen ansyen minaret li yo, nouvo minaret ak menora an lò. Men, èske Amerik la renmen mwen tou? Ou ta ka renmen Curry, boukannen ak boukannen mwen an? Èske ou ka renmen akjonjon mwen renmen anpil ak fri? Èske ou ta renmen tatoo henna ak bandana mwen an? Èske li ka renmen Hajj mwen an, Lamèk mwen an, Medina mwen an? Èske ou ka renmen Cinco de Mayo mwen an, Jou Mouri mwen an? Èske w ta renmen galon kente mwen, galon mwen, galon mwen ak cheve mwen? Èske ou ka renmen po mwen, kit se Ebony, ivwa, dulce de leche oswa café au lait? Èske l ap renmen m poutèt non mwen? Shekinah Glory, Muhammad Bin Saeed, Anastasia Kozov, Cleophis Dorsey, Claudia González ou Gael Petit Frere, èske w ka renmen m poutèt non mwen? Kisa ki t ap pase si m te nan mitan mas yo ki te rasanble nan abri mizerab sa a, oswa si yon moun ki san kay te pran nan yon tanpèt? Èske l ap kontinye kenbe lanp li anlè? Lagè ak rimè sou lagè, IED, selil dòmi ak kwayans tòde fè m 'yon paria yo dwe ekstèmine, yon fleo yo dwe detwi ak yon fleo yo dwe elimine. Mwen te vini ak kè poze. Mwen renmen peyi sa tou. Mwen renmen opòtinite kontinuèl ou yo. Mwen renmen jenewozite lespri ou. Mwen renmen espwa fonse ou. Mwen renmen meadows woule ou yo ak chante kè kontan ou yo. Mwen renmen wout pave ou yo ak ti korvèt wouj ou yo. Mwen renmen bidonvil yo ki gen anpil moun ak etajman iben. Mwen renmen ansyen minare li yo, nouvo minare yo ak menorah an lò. Mwen vini pou lapè, e mwen renmen Amerik. Mwen vini pou lapè, e mwen renmen Amerik. Mèsi. Mèsi. Pòm nan pa tonbe lwen pye bwa a. Mèsi Jonatas. Jonathan Fagan jwe kle. Jonathan pral tounen nan emisyon nou an pita. Kidonk sa enteresan pou mwen. Sa a se kote mwen kontan. Li pwezi, pale ak odyans ki enterese, prezante bon moun bay pastè, fè e fè sa yo fè. Men, yon lòt bagay enteresan pou mwen te nan West Medford Community Center. E wè anpil moun, sitou dènyèman, vin ede kan nou an. E moun sa yo nou pral pale kounye a se moun ki aktyèlman la pou ede kan nou an. Memoryal Martin Luther King Jr. ane pase a nan 111 Arlington Street te pi piti pase evènman jodi a. Nou te kòmanse yon nouvo tradisyon WMC pou rekonèt lidèchip kominote a nan plizyè domèn enpòtan. Nou prezante premye Drumming Professional Awards yo, pou nou retounen nan filozofi lidèchip ak patisipasyon Dr King nan bati kominote yo renmen anpil yo. Dezyèm WMCC Drumming Awards anyèl jodi a konsantre sou kategori tankou defans kominotè, sèvis piblik devwe ak eritaj kiltirèl. Lisa Crossman ap ede m prezante prim sa yo; West Med Community Center Inc. gen onè pou l prezante Drum Professional Award 2024 bay Joseph M. Jones. Nou eksprime rekonesans sa a ak tout kè l pou li nan limyè enpòtans kiltirèl ak sosyal li pou kominote West Medford la ak pou Medford kòm yon moun ki bati pon, moun k ap fè lapè, ki prezève istorik nan kominote a, yon volontè aktif, yon konseye, yon pwofesè ak yon modèl eksepsyonèl pou jèn yo. ou pral toujou Pran yon plas nan kwonik yo ak achiv nan kay ou renmen anpil katye yo. Direktè Egzekitif Lisa M. Crossman afiche jodi a, 15 janvye 2024, West Medford Community Center.
[SPEAKER_12]: Mèsi kominote, chè kominote West Medford. West Medford se tè fètil pou moun ki te fè gwo kontribisyon anvan nou eritaj kiltirèl kominote sa a. Li fè m sonje moun tankou Coral Yancey, ki te ekri chante siyati Hobbs Junior High. Moun tankou Adele Evans, ki te fonde West Medford Women's Chorus. Moun tankou saksofonis William Thompson te etabli karyè li kòm yon pwofesè van nan Berkeley College. Mwen te kapab kontinye ak sou tè fètil West Medford ki te ban nou talan, talan kiltirèl tankou Terry Carter, ki te vin premye loreya powèt nan vil Medford. Moun tankou ko-animatè mwen an Dorothy Elizabeth Tucker, ki te danse devan nou nan laj 90 ak 95 nan Medford Senior Center, te ban nou kado ak talan li. Mwen swete mwen te gen plis tan epi sonje lòt yo, men West Medford se yon resous talan. Mwen espere ou pral jwenn mwen nan ede kontinye bay kominote sa a manje lè w fè bagay tankou rantre nan West Medford Community Center. Vin yon manm nan Chapit Mystic Valley NAACP a epi rantre nan batay pou jistis sivil, rantre nan yon sant kominotè, fè pati kominote nou an epi sèvi kòm volontè. Volonter pou ede edik nou bann zenn ki bezwen gidans dan sa moman dezinformasyon ek konfizyon. Se konsa, nou gen opòtinite sa a. nou ye Kòm yon nouvo ane kòmanse, nou dwe gade pozitivman nan tan kap vini an. Mwen vle remèsye ou pou onè sa a, men nou dwe kontinye gade nan lavni tou. Mèsi tout moun.
[SPEAKER_09]: Mèsi, Jose.
[Terry Carter]: Dezyèm prim 2024 Jump Major nou an ale pou Francis N. Nwaje. Gen kèk moun ki fè yon enpak sou anviwònman yo nan moman yo antre nan yon chanm, e Francis se youn nan moun sa yo depi yo rive nan Medford. An rekonesans pou sèvis eksepsyonèl ou bay Vil Medford kòm Direktè Ekite, Divèsite ak Enklizyon ak gwo dezi ou pou fè tout rezidan vil la santi yo akeyi epi tande, Anplis defans ou demontre ak afinite pou kominote istorik West Medford la, nou eksprime rekonesans sa a ak rekonesans sensè. West Medford Community Center Inc. gen onè pou l prezante Prim Pwofesyonèl Tanbou 2024 la bay Frances N. Nwaje.
[Frances Nwajei]: Wow. Kidonk, mwen pa moun ki bay gwo diskou, men mwen pral di, sa a se yon kote ki trè inik. Mwen se youn nan moun ki kwè ke travay mwen ta dwe pale atravè aksyon mwen yo. Mwen pwofondman onore ak rekonesan pou prim sa a, men jan lòt moun te di, siksè se rezilta nan toujou pran desizyon etik ak respekte lòt moun. Kidonk, prim sa a se pa prim mwen an. Sa a se sa nou bay tounen kòm yon kominote. Mwen vle mande w: Kisa divèsite, ekite, ak enklizyon vle di pou ou? Epitou, pouse yo sonje ke chak repons se repons ki kòrèk la paske li baze sou pwòp eksperyans ou ak konpreyansyon w. Pou vrèman fè yon chanjman, nou dwe rekonèt platfòm nou ye a. Okenn zak pa twò piti. Chak aksyon se yon viktwa. Sepandan, nou dwe dispoze koute san jijman epi koute sa y ap di. Konnen ki jan pou nou chita ansanm epi mete tèt yo ansanm pou nou ka kreye estrikti kominote a ke nou kapab. P'ap janm gen yon pi bon yè, ap toujou gen yon pi bon demen, paske Martin Luther King te di li te gen yon rèv, ak rèv li se espwa mwen ak platfòm mwen.
[Terry Carter]: Mèsi. Mèsi. Wow. Li pale byen, men aksan an, monchè. Sa a se sa ki deranje ou. Tout se byen. Pandan tout listwa li, ki soti nan fen ane 1930 yo e ki te fonde an 1945, sant kominotè a te gen anpil zanmi. Nou gen kritik nou, men nou pa pale de malad ak mò. Ann pale sou lanmou ak lavi. West Medford Community Center Inc. gen onè pou l prezante Prim Pwofesyonèl Tanbou 2024 la bay Richard Rick Caraviello, yon zanmi m. Pou rekonesans devosyon li depi lontan pou Vil Medford kòm manm Konsèy Vil la, Chanm Komès ak Kiwanis Club, pami lòt òganizasyon ki afilye yo, li fyè de meyè tradisyon sèvis piblik yo.

West Medford Community Center Inc. gen onè pou l prezante Drumming Professional Award 2024 la bay Richard Rick Caraviello nan dat 15 janvye 2024, li siyen pa Direktè Egzekitif Lisa M. Grossman.
[Richard Caraviello]: Mèsi. Mèsi Terry. Kidonk, pandan mwen kanpe la a ap pale, mwen ka pi piti nan loreya powèt yo ki te vin anvan mwen. Men, mwen vle remèsye tout moun isit la, espesyalman Joe Jones Dorothy Tucker paske yo te resevwa prim sa a Sa a se yon gwo konpayi. E de moun sa yo se zidòl sosyete sa a. Nou bezwen plis moun tankou Joe Jones ak Dorothy Tucker alavni. Men, gen anpil moun nan chanm sa a ki enspire m, zanmi m ak kòlèg mwen. Mwen te jis vle di ou mèsi dèske w te ede m avanse. Mwen vle remèsye paran m yo paske yo ban m yon sistèm valè. Menm jan ak Martin Luther King. Madanm mwen ak mwen eseye anseye timoun nou yo menm sistèm valè pou yo ka avanse pou pi devan epi enkòpore valè Martin Luther King, Jr. Se konsa, mèsi nou tout ankò jodi a. Terry, mèsi pou onè a.
[Terry Carter]: Mèsi, Rick. Trè kontan, frè. Tout se byen. pile zèb. An reyalite, mwen pa fè li, epi mwen fè li souvan paske mwen konnen ki jan yo ekri, men mwen ekri li epi se poutèt sa mwen ka sonje li epi gen mo pou eksprime lajwa mwen nan prezante prim sa a. Menm si absan, menm si sa, gen yon prezans akablan nan apèl sa a ki inik. West Medford Community Center Inc. gen onè pou l onore posthume Dorothy Elizabeth Tucker ak Drum Professional Award 2024 la.
[o9F0qYH9Geo_SPEAKER_05]: Mèsi.
[Terry Carter]: Sa a se bèlfi Dorothy a Ketley Tucker, bèlfi li Anita Tucker ak pitit gason li Matthew Tucker. Mwen pa ta ensiste, byenke mwen sètènman te kapab. Mwen te ekri omwen de oswa twa powèm sou Dorothy Elizabeth. Men, yon vizyon mwen vle ou sonje se ke nan seremoni retounen lakay ou a, apre li te fini nan West Medford Baptist Church, nou te fòme yon dezyèm pwosesyon nan New Orleans pou mache desann Harvard Avenue. Nou te desann moniman an, pase Fairfield, epi nou te jwenn nou devan kay Dorothy Elizabeth. Dapre mwen, sa a se youn nan moman esansyèl nan istwa pèp la nan kominote West Medford la. Se poutèt sa, nou konsidere enpòtans kiltirèl ak sosyal Dorothy Elizabeth pou kominote West Medford ak Greater Medford kòm yon moun ki bati pon, ki fè lapè, ki prezève istwa katye a, prezans atistik ak modèl eksepsyonèl pou jèn yo, nou rekonesan dèske nou bay rekonesans sa a. Li pral pou tout tan gen yon plas nan annal ak achiv lavi yo nan Neighborhood Home li renmen anpil la, kote li te prezante jodi a pa Direktè Egzekitif Lisa M. Crossman nan dat 15 janvye 2024 nan West Medford Community Center, Inc.
[SPEAKER_20]: Dorothy te yon fanm bèl bagay. Mwen vrèman renmen li. Lè moun di, bon, ki jan li ye tankou yon bèlmè? Se tankou mwen pa t 'kapab gen yon pi bon bèlmè. Li se pi bon an. Non sèlman li te ede nou avanse, men li te kapab tou bay pitit li yo ak fanmi yo. Kay n ap viv nan, nan epòk sa a ak laj, nou gen yon vizyon nan ane 60 yo ke nou pa janm ta ka genyen. Li enkwayab. Epi li toujou fè bagay konsa. Se tankou li te kalkile sa a 20 ane de sa anvan ou te konnen se te yon pwoblèm. Li deside. Ou antre epi ou di, ok, sa k ap pase? Li te di, o, wi, se sa ki te pase. Li leve de timoun bèl bagay. Mwen marye ak youn nan yo. Mèsi. Lòt la se Kepley. Sa a trè bon. Li se vrèman yon bèl fanm nan kominote sa a. Li te ede m ak aprantisaj ouvè paske mwen te nan komite sa a. Li ouvri lakay li pou nou chak ane pou lektè nou yo ka la. Mwen pa ka di ase sou li. Ou vle di yon bagay?
[SPEAKER_18]: Wi.
[SPEAKER_20]: Li se yon fanm enkwayab.
[SPEAKER_18]: Wi, li se enkwayab. Li te fè m santi m tankou yon pitit fi depi premye jou mwen te rankontre l. Kidonk mwen pa janm rele li bèlmè mwen. Li toujou, tout moun te panse li te manman m. Lè sa a, yo te di nou te sanble. Se konsa, li te aksepte m 'premye fwa li te rankontre m'. Se konsa, wi, li se yon gwo fanm. Mèsi.
[Terry Carter]: Mèsi. Mèsi fanmi. Mèsi. Nou felisite ak remèsye chak tanbouyè pou kontribisyon tout lavi yo. Medford vrèman beni pou travay di ak devouman li pou konstwi yon kominote renmen anpil nan Medford ak pi lwen. Sa merite aplodisman. Kòm ou ka wè, jodi a se yon zafè fanmi nan WMCC. Gen anpil talan ak lespri kominote bò kote nou epi nou eseye pwofite sa tout kote nou kapab. Pou mwen, sa vle di anjeneral fanmi Cote. Pastè Teresa J. Cotter se Yon minis nan levanjil Jezikri a, li se yon dansè ki resevwa fòmasyon epi sèvi ak fanm ak tifi atravè New England nan ministè dans litijik, disip, misyon ak evanjelizasyon kretyen. Li fèk tounen soti nan Cape Town, Lafrik di sid, Li sou teren misyon an pote espwa, èd ak kè Bondye bay kominote ki pa gen sèvis yo. Pou prezante ministè ak danse nan lafwa CeCe Winans, akeyi Pastè Teresa J. Cotter.
[SPEAKER_07]: Bon apremidi tout moun. Bon apremidi tout moun. Sa a se pi bon. Bon pou rankontre ou ak gwo yo dwe nan St Louis. Raphael, premye fwa mwen nan Saint Petersburg. Raphael, men sa a se pa premye fwa mwen ak fanmi West Metro Community Center. Mwen dwe di, Sè Dorothy Tucker se yon enspirasyon pou mwen kòm yon dansè 95 ane fin vye granmoun. Mwen pa t 'menm konnen li te sè m'. Se poutèt sa, mwen onore Doktè Tucker Soror Dorothy nan Jounen Fondatè Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Sa ki pi enpòtan, mwen onore tou pou m ap selebre anivèsè nesans Doktè King nan non Senyè ak Sovè mwen Jezikri. Mwen gen yon espwa. Gen espwa toujou pou nou tout. Pandan l t ap bay diskou nou tout konnen e nou tande anpil fwa, mwen te fè yon rèv. Mwen sipliye w nan jou sa a pou w sonje pawòl Doktè King yo ak pawòl ki nan Bib la ki di nou pou nou aji jis. Renmen pitye epi aji avèk imilite. Si nou fè twa bagay sa yo, kèlkeswa sa k ap pase nan monn nan, mwen toujou kwè nan mirak, mwen toujou kwè ke rèv yo ap reyalize, kèlkeswa sikonstans yo. Amèn? Se pou ou beni.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yo di mòn sa a imobilye. Yo di chenn sa yo pa janm ka kase. Men, yo pa konnen ou tankou nou fè. Gen pouvwa nan non ou. Yo poko wè sa ou ka fè.
[SPEAKER_05]: egziste Ou menm.
[Terry Carter]: Gade, si yo pa fè sa mwen vle, yo pral remèt mwen kòb mwen. Teresa, sa bèl anpil. Atant mwen yo pa diminye. Evèk rejwisans mwen an, Gideon Thompson te toujou di li se yon krapo ki repanti ki pa t fè lwanj pwòp letan pa l. Mèsi nan fon kè m pou bèl emisyon ou te fè pou Bondye ak Doktè Martin Luther King. Mwen sèten yo tout kontan. Oke, yon èdtan ak yon mwatye pase. Divilgasyon konplè, ann elaji yon ti jan. Men koulye a, nou pral sispann pou yon ti goute epi bay moun yon opòtinite pou konekte plis ak moun yo sou tab yo. Volontè nou yo pral kounye a gide ou nan ti goute. Mwen ta anile tab la. Lè sa a, yo mande w byen vit tounen sou tab la pou manje ak koze. Sou chak tab ou pral jwenn yon kat ak yon kesyon pou reflechi sou. Lè sa a, gade nan kat magazen jòn la epi wè kesyon an. Koulye a, diskite sou li yon ti kras nan mitan nou epi si ou jwenn yon fason, gen yon kaye ak yon plim sou tab la. Fè yon moun anrejistre kèk nan enpresyon sa yo pou pita, olye ke jodi a lè nou tou senpleman pa gen tan, nou ka remèt enpresyon sa yo nan men tout moun pou yo konnen sa ki te di jodi a. Sa a pral pwen depa pou anpil lòt diskisyon nou genyen ane sa a. Bon, nou pral reyini nan anviwon 20 minit pou nou pale sou rès show jodi a. Twalèt yo sitiye nan gwoup la, mèsi pou atansyon w ak patisipasyon w.
[o9F0qYH9Geo_SPEAKER_05]: Oke, Tablo 5 jiska Tablo 8. Tablo 5 rive nan Tablo 8. Oke, wete, wete. Oke, fòm 912. Oke, se tout pou epizòd sa a. ou
[Terry Carter]: Si ou kapab, eseye pale sou pwoblèm ki sou kat magazen an, kat jòn magazen an, si sa posib. Eseye pale sou pwoblèm sa a. Oke, ann bay tout moun manje epi retounen sou tab ou yo. Briyan. Ki moun ki pa vin sou tab la epi ki pa manje yon sandwich, chips oswa yon bagay, vin kounye a, pale kounye a epi rete an silans pou tout tan. Vini non, mwen gen volontè pou m manje tou, ann ale. Tout se byen. Oke, Brian, ale pi devan. Kontinye, zanmi.
[SPEAKER_09]: Tcheke, tcheke, tcheke mikro, tcheke.
[Terry Carter]: Oke, ou ka? Wi, paske tout sa mwen dwe fè se eseye
[SPEAKER_09]: Bonjou. Tcheke, tcheke. Tcheke, tcheke. ou ka tande mwen? Tcheke, tcheke. Tcheke, tcheke. Tcheke, tcheke, tcheke. Tcheke, tcheke, tcheke mikwofòn la. Tcheke, tcheke.
[SPEAKER_06]: ann wè. Tcheke mikwofòn 1, 2.
[o9F0qYH9Geo_SPEAKER_05]: Tcheke mikwofòn 1, 2.
[SPEAKER_06]: Mikwofòn 1, 2. Tcheke mikwofòn 1, 2. Mikwofòn 1, 2. Mikwofòn 1, 2. Tcheke mikwofòn youn ak de. Mikwo youn, de. Make youn ak de. Youn, de.
[SPEAKER_09]: Tcheke, tcheke. Briyan. OK
[Terry Carter]: Tout se byen. Mwen pa konnen sa ki pase depi mwen tounen. Mwen gen jwèt, menm si. OK
[SPEAKER_06]: Tcheke mic youn de, mic youn de.
[SPEAKER_05]: Asire w ke gen ase espas pou li pa vin twò cho.
[SPEAKER_06]: Pase l 'sou, nou atizanal vis yo epi mete yo tounen nan itilize.
[SPEAKER_09]: Tcheke, tcheke. OK
[Terry Carter]: Mwen toujou pa gen anpil pwofi.
[SPEAKER_09]: Tcheke, tcheke, tcheke. OK
[Terry Carter]: Ou pa ta janm panse ke li ta pran tan sa a pou moun yo jwenn yon sandwich. Men, te gen anpil moun nan chanm nan. Sa se yon bèl bagay. Mwen espere ke nou tout te gen yon mòde yo manje epi yo te gen yon chans chat pou yon ti tan. Nan yon monn pafè, sa nou ta fè se Yon konvèsasyon pi gwo. Nou pral gen yon kasèt sou chak tab. Gen yon kaye, yon notepad, ak yon plim pou ekri kèk obsèvasyon. Apre sa, nou ta ka menm pibliye yon rapò oswa de. Men, santiman mwen se ke si nou te eseye fè sa, nou ta la jiska kat è. Se konsa, nou pral eseye kenbe li alantou 1:30 kounye a paske nou konnen moun yo gen orè ak bagay yo fè, men nou vle tout moun yo dwe nan mòd vakans pou yo ralanti yon ti kras, ou konnen, epi yo pran tan yo pran sant flè yo. Moun ki te resevwa flè ak moun ki pa t ', mwen pral konnen pita. Men, kèlkeswa sa, Nou espere li pral mete ajou epi reflete sou li. Nou jis te vle pran yon ti tan. Mèsi tout moun pou ouvèti ak patisipasyon nou. Mwen panse ke nou rekonèt ke konvèsasyon sa yo se jis pwent iceberg la nan sa nou vle wè sou yon baz regilye nan vil sa a. Nou vle tout enstitisyon kominotè nou yo vin pi gwo, pi efikas enkibatè pou kominikasyon dinamik, rezo, ak reyinyon. Sa a se sètènman entansyon West Medford Community Center. Pou mwen pèsonèlman, vle a Konekte ak moun ki bò kote m sipòte travay mwen kòm yon powèt ak lespri kreyatif. Mwen sèten menm bagay la tou ka di pou pwochen oratè nou an. Vijaya Sundaram se dezyèm loreya powèt Medford. Li te pran kontwòl jiyè pase a, menm jan li t ap pibliye premye liv pwezi li a. Yo rele sa yon lantiy kraze. Vijaya se yon pwofesè literati tou nan Bunker Hill Community College. Li se tou yon manman ak madanm. Li chante ak konpoze mizik epi li se yon atis vizyèl sou entènèt. Penti ou yo etonan. Medam ak mesye, zanmi m Powèt Loreya Vijaya Sundaram la pou pataje kreyativite li avèk nou.
[Sundaram]: Mèsi Terry. Èske w ka tande m byen klè? Briyan. Si w pa ka tande m, santi w lib pou w leve dwèt ou epi di m, dwèt endèks ou. Lè sa a, mwen reponn kòmsadwa. Terry, se yon onè pou m kapab swiv Terry epi swiv tras li epi genyen atis enkwayab sa yo devan m. Kidonk, mèsi paske w te genyen m isit la. Sa a se premye fwa mwen patisipe nan evènman sa a. Se konsa, mwen vrèman rekonesan pou fè pati sa a. Terry te di m ke tèm nan se peyi li renmen anpil, kidonk mwen te oblije ekri yon powèm sou li. Mwen dwe admèt sa a te yon ti jan difisil pou mwen paske mwen pa janm ekri yon powèm sou yon moun. Sa a se premye fwa mwen. Mwen te fini li samdi maten. Men, mwen pwomèt ou, mwen tout nan. Anvan sa chante mwen te panse mwen te vle chante a pa t pou mwen. Li evidan, lè ou tande li, ou konnen li pa pou mwen. Li soti nan Mongo Santa María e li se ble Afriken paske se peyi nou renmen an. Mwen reve peyi nanm mwen. Mwen tande son yon men k ap frape yon tanbou. Tout koulè lajwa. Ton kakawo, rich tankou lannwit. ble Afriken. Ti gason an bèl e ti fi a bèl. Danse, mond lan nan distenksyon, koulè lajwa, koulè kakawo, rich tankou lannwit, ble Afriken, de jèn rayisab kanpe fas a fas, distenksyon ondulan. Yo souke yon ti kras epi yo sove nan kèk kote solitèr. Tout koulè lajwa. Ton kakawo. Rich tankou lannwit. ble Afriken. Sa a se ka a ak Mongo. Mèsi. Se poutèt sa mwen rele li Dreamland. Yon lè, te gen yon rèv ki te fè yon rèv kote chante tout zansèt li yo te koule san rete nan yon kouran ilizyon. Li te pale san ezite sou Latè Pwomiz la, sou tèt mòn ki klere sou kote li te kanpe a. Li te pale e li te deklare ke rèv yo te difere. Li goumen pou nou, pou moun ki pral vini yo, pou nou vire peyi sa a, peyi sa a ki te dirije pa vanyan sòlda, pou yon kòz jis. Li te goumen, te pale ak te pase nan peryòd fatig pandan baton ak gaz lakrimojèn yo te eseye sispann l '. Si pawòl li yo te yon ons favè, mwen ta ka pa te rive la. Apre ane sa a fatal, rèv la ap kontinye. Kòm ranje manifestan yo te grandi ak pouse tounen entolerans ak laperèz, pon an te kenbe. Lè gwo twou san fon ki anba pye nou an ap grandi ak pi laj, ki sa ki pèmèt nou reyalize objektif nou ansanm? Nou eseye konstwi yon pon pou nou santi nou antye. Men, pon yo pran tan pou yo bati ak travèse, kidonk gen moun ki sote nan rivyè san yo pa pè paske tan se nan sans ak laperèz se yon fado lou. Ki mare nou dwe monte pou nou konfwonte rayi sa a ki korode travay nou ansanm? Gen moun ki monte sou kannòt espwa a epi monte van ak vag. Frè ak sè yo goumen youn kont lòt, mawon, nwa, bèlj, blan, pal, bliye ke nou fèt sou tè a, manman nou. Rèv sa a n ap deplase nan direksyon an se yon Sentespri Graal byen lwen, men nou wè fòm li. Se konsa, lapli oswa klere, nou pral domine. Nou pral avanse men nan men ak lanmou ak konfyans. Mèsi.
[Terry Carter]: Vijaya, nou diferan men nou menm. Mèsi pou melanj pafè ou nan son ak lespri. Nou kontan genyen l avèk nou jodi a epi n ap tann tout sa li kontinye fè kòm dezyèm loreya powèt Medford a ak yon gwo resous pou boza nan kominote sa a. Donk, nou te reflechi ak anpil atansyon sou sa nou te vle oratè nou yo pote bay odyans nou jodi a. Nou konkli ke gen anpil antite ki ka ede piblik la navige nan kominote yo renmen anpil yo. Pandan ke kèk nan antite sa yo ka pafwa sanble retade, refize, oswa anpeche kèk nan sa k ap pase pandan n ap avanse nan direksyon ideyal King yo, Doktè King li menm te konnen ke nou dwe fòme patenarya efikas ak yo. Sa a se laverite sitou lè li rive fè respekte lalwa. Pandan 13 ane li kòm lidè dwa sivil, Doktè King te arete 30 fwa, sitou pou krim ti oswa vyolasyon pwotestasyon sivil, kidonk eksperyans li ak lapolis te twoublan pou di omwen. Li ensiste, sepandan, ke lapolis ta dwe enkli kòm yon pati nan solisyon an nan pwoblèm dwa sivil, menm si yo souvan wè yo kòm yon pati nan pwoblèm nan tèt li. Reyalizasyon sa a te pouse desizyon nou pou fè yon pèspektiv ki fè respekte lalwa yon pati nan konvèsasyon jodi a. Kidonk, si w gen nenpòt dout oswa enkwayans, mwen mande w pou w kanpe pou yon ti moman epi koute byen sa m gen pou m di apremidi a. Oke, yon lòt divilgasyon konplè. Yon fwa ankò, mwen konvenk yon manm fanmi pou ede nou òganize selebrasyon jodi a nan Dr Martin Luther King Jr. Darrell W. Owens te pran retrèt nan dat 17 mas 2023, apre 34 ane. Li sanble li gen sèlman 34, ki vrèman enteresan, li soti nan Depatman Lapolis Boston. Li te pase pi fò nan karyè li fè respekte lalwa nan BPD Academy. Se la li espesyalize nan taktik defansiv, itilizasyon fòs ak de-eskalasyon, pandan ke nan akademi an li te fòme plis pase 2,000 ofisye polis ak fè yon total de 30 klas fòmasyon rekrite. Darryl se fondatè ak direktè Boston Police Youth Academy, yon travay pandan ete ak pwogram sansibilizasyon ki konekte ofisye lapolis ak jèn ki gen risk. Eksperyans li nan itilizasyon fòs amelyore atravè plizyè santèn èdtan fòmasyon, rechèch pèsonèl ak konsiltasyon. Li te antrene ak FBI, Police Executive Research Forum, ak Force Science Institute. Youn nan pasyon li se anseye konsèp pratik polis konstitisyonèl yo bay yon varyete odyans sivil. Darryl se neve defen Senatè Massachusetts William Bill Owens ak ansyen reprezantan eta Shirley Owens-Hicks. Tankou anpil nan frè l yo, kouzen ak zanmi, li te leve soti vivan nan politik ras ak rekonsilyasyon. Li pote rekonesans sa a nan karyè k ap grandi li anplis de trant ane eksperyans li ak BBT. Li gen yon bèl madanm. Li rele Barbara. Li gen bèl pitit fi. Medam ak mesye, chè kouzen mwen, frè m nan Kris la, ak zanmi m Daryl W. Owens.
[SPEAKER_01]: All right, thank you and hello everybody. It's been great to be here so far. I am really honored to be invited here to speak on this day, to think about and to reflect on the life and legacy of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. It is enormous to me. I can't quite put it in words, how big it is for me to be able to come before you and speak to you today. You know, the one thing that I'm really grateful for in the legacy of Dr. King is that all throughout today and all throughout next month, we can actually hear the man's voice. Technology was at a place, it wasn't where it is in 2024 of course, but it was at a place during his lifetime that we could actually hear his words from his voice. And so people who weren't even on the earth when he lived get to hear his actual voice, his actual words. But you know something that's amazing about Dr. King is that his actions, were greater than his words. And I don't know about you, but I want to be like that. I am 58 years old. I'm recently retired from the Boston Police Department. And I want to have a life of impact. I want to live a life of impact. You heard it in my introduction. I won't bore you with any more of the facts, but I love the topics that I've come to teach at the Boston Police Academy. I'm a true teacher. I teach. That's what I do. I actually don't talk a lot unless I'm teaching. I'm actually a quiet person, quiet and some might even say shy. But when I have something to teach, I talk. I'm much better standing here in front of a group of 100 or so people than I am mingling at a party. And if you don't believe me, ask my cousins. There's a few of them sprinkled around here. I'm just not a very good mingler. Sorry. But I am a teacher. I loved teaching police use of force. I passionately loved it. And I've been involved in several places around the country. teaching police use of force. Right now, I am the use of force subject matter expert for Ferguson, Missouri. That department has signed a consent decree and a bunch of civilians, me included, went down there and we helped them to restructure their police use of force. I am very proud of that work. And you know, I've been on both sides of this issue. It's funny, when you're the person who is the use of force subject matter expert, and people see you, they want to kind of dictate how it's going to go. Let me explain. I can get kicked out of both cookouts. I can get kicked out of two cookouts. I can seriously get kicked out of the police cookout. Because we might be hanging around the burgers and someone might say, hey, Darryl, what do you think about this issue that happened in this city at this time to that black person? And I might say, well, that cop was wrong. And here's how I know. I've already studied it out. I took six hours to read about it and watch the videos and read the reports. And here's what I think, and that cop was wrong. And then at the cop cookout, somebody might say, do you want that burger wrapped in foil? Means, you got to go, bruh. At the family cookout, I can get kicked out. Same thing. Hey, Darryl, what do you think about this particular use of force that happened to this black person in this city at this time? And my answer might be, this is going to be a hard truth for you, cousin, dear cousin, but this particular use of force was the only reasonable response that that police officer could have arrived at at that particular time. Now maybe there's some ribs and chicken at the family cookout, but nonetheless, would you like your plate to go? And I can live with that. I'm pleased with that. Because one of the statements that I reiterate to myself all the time when I'm going into these conversations is that the truth has no friends. The truth does not have a friend. It is what it is. It's a straight line most of the time. What complicates those truths in this country is implicit bias. It really complicates things. And I don't want to go too much into this, but the devaluing of black and brown bodies in this country is epidemic and historic, of course. I don't want to go too much into that. I do want to teach you something, though. You ready? OK, so I'm going to give you a two-minute lesson in de-escalation. I want you to use your imagination first. I'm going to get some water. Is that OK? Got to lubricate the instrument, as my table neighbor just told me a few minutes ago, a voice teacher. So here's my quick two-minute de-escalation lesson. Use your imagination. Imagine you're on one of those game shows, like a minute-to-win-it game show, and you're the contestant in the phone booth. where in a couple of seconds dollar bills are going to fly up from the floor. And what's your job? To get as many as possible. Are you going to be able to get all of them? Are you going to be able to dictate which ones you grab? No, you're just going to grab as many as possible so you can come out of the phone booth with something of value, yes? The de-escalation conversation. You are talking to someone who is agitated, angry, frustrated, for real good reasons or reasons you don't even understand. And everything they say comes out hard and fast and almost assaultive and almost offensive. They're not controlling their tone. They're not being delicate and kind. They're just firing words at you. The de-escalation listener is just like the phone booth contestant. In that environment of loudness and emotion and angst, they're trying to grab as many truths as possible. And then when they come out of that environment with something of value, they can say, I can see that you're very upset about this or that. That's de-escalation. I'm going to give it some real flesh and bones now. Terry mentioned that I'm the founder of the Boston Teen Police Academy. It is my great joy and pleasure and honor to lead that program. I'll tell you the beginning story. In 2010, Because I did karate since I was nine years old, I needed double hip replacement surgery. I went to the hospital, I got my hips done, and it was intense. Maybe some of you can relate. It was intense, and I can remember, I was only 45 years old. And the doctor came in, and he said, hey, Mr. Owens. I said, yeah. He said, you're going to be feeling better than you have in 15 years. In a few days, I want you to do something amazing. And at first, I was like, what? Who are you? Like, who are you? You ain't my preacher. You ain't, what? I was a little bit offended. And then I went back to work. And I was on light duty, I couldn't go out in the street, I couldn't do anything but I was working in the academy. Now at this time I was halfway through my career as an academy instructor, so I had a few classes of officers under me who really loved and respected me because I was really hard on them when they were in the academy. So they called me up, two cops called me up, and they said, hey, we have a young kid. He has a lot of potential. He's kind of falling in with the wrong group. Can we bring him in and you give him a little tour and tell him what you do? Because he doesn't think that there's anybody that looks like him that has a role of influence in the Boston Police Department. I said, sure, bring him in. He came in. And right away, I don't know if you've ever done this, But right away, I loved this kid. Right away. But not for, I loved him because he was just so edgy and tough. But I could see that there was softness there. Anyway, he had, well, one of my pet peeves at the time, no longer, but at the time, I had a pet peeve about young men wearing their pants really low. Full disclosure. Once you're 58, that happens to you. So I don't have that. I'm not offended by that anymore. It's all good. It's normal. But back then, it wasn't normal. So these two police officers knew that I had that pet peeve, and he had adjusted his pants thusly. So I said, hey, man, can you do me a favor and pull those up? And he was like, I'm not here to get advice on how I wear my clothes from you, man. And I just thought, word, I like this kid. They didn't think that. The two officers that brought him in didn't think that. And so one of them kind of gently put their hand on his elbow, came up from behind the young man, put his hand on his elbow, and said, hey, come over here. Let me talk to you. And this young man, what do you think he did? Get your hand off me. Don't be touching me. I didn't come here for you to put your hands all over me. And I saw it. The officer was going to respond in kind, and it was going to be a situation. You know what a situation is, right? It was going to be an issue. And I said, stop. Stop. We were in the gymnasium at the time. I said, do you guys, do you two wanna go get some coffee or something? There's a coffee machine in my office. Why don't you guys go and make yourself a cup? Yeah, why don't you go do that? I'm gonna stay here and talk to him. So we talked. Initially, it was all attitude. I'm still like, word, I like this kid. I do, I like this kid. They wanted to make him do push-ups. They thought I was going to make him do push-ups and yell at him and tell him off. But I said, hey, sit down on that bench over there. I'm going to sit down on this bench over here. And I'm going to tell you about myself. Do you know why you're here? And he said, no. I said, I happen to know. I happen to know that your father was taken to prison when you were very young. Guess what? My father was taken to prison when I was very young. I happen to know that your father passed away soon after he went away. Guess what? My father passed away soon after he went away. I happen to know that you do pretty well at school, but you're not at the age right now where it's really cool to let other people know in your neighborhood that you're doing well at school. When I was your age, I was doing pretty well at school. But it was not cool to let people know in my neighborhood that I was doing pretty well. And he was like, we're the same. And I said, we're the same. We're the same. And we just started talking and laughing and talking about sneakers and talking about the girls he liked and talking about what he wanted to do in his life. And we became friends. That relationship didn't last a long time. But do you see what I did? I was in the phone booth. I was right there. And I realized that he didn't want that police officer coming up from behind him and touching him because that was traumatic for him in some way. And so I related to him. And he realized, I didn't tell him this because it would have been totally weird. I didn't say, I love you, man. But I think he realized through the connection that I did that I cared. that my heart was open to him, that I wanted his heart to be open to me. And so after they left, I said, I'm going to call my wife and tell her about this. And I called her, and she said, maybe this is what your doctor was talking about. And I said, you know what, I'm going to try to form an organization to bring kids like him into the police academy so they can, I don't even know what I'm going to do with them, but I just want them to experience me. Does that sound weird? I said, I just want them to meet me. I just want them to see that I am the one who's training the police that go out to interact with them. I want them to see that I come from damage and trauma and heartbreak and heartache and I'm here and I'm doing something to give back. I want them to see me. So it started off very simple. It was like a three week program. And I did things like teach them how to tie a necktie. It was all boys initially. Taught them how to tie a necktie, something I didn't learn. Taught them how to catch a baseball and a mitt, something I didn't learn. I didn't have a father to play catch with. Taught them how to order their food at a restaurant, something I didn't learn. I didn't grow up with a father. And the program grew and grew and grew. And now it's a six week long summer program where they are getting paid. One of my kids right now, thank you. One of my kids right now. is in Wentworth Institute, a junior in Wentworth Institute. She should be a sophomore, but she took classes right out of the Teen Academy. She went and took classes at Roxbury Community College and got herself into Wentworth Institute on a higher level and is gonna be finished in less than a year with her training as a software engineer. I'm not there to make cops, although that has been a benefit. I've gotten a few kids. About 10 of them have become police officers thus far in the last 15 years. But my main goal is to give them a pathway to success. I loved my profession. I was sobered by the power that I had as a member of my profession. I was and am concerned about my profession. As you well know, the history of policing and black and brown people are deeply intertwined in this country. Some of the foundational principles of forming modern policing is to control black and brown populations in major cities. Control. subjugation, oppression. Those were some of the initial goals. But now times have changed. Because of work of great people like Dr. King and because of modern efforts like the public outcry and the police killings that have happened in the last five or 10 years, things are changing. There is a nationwide movement for police reform. One of the things that Terry asked me to speak about was, how can we make things better? He said it differently than that, but what I read was, how can we make things better? Fortunately, things are beginning to get better. The departments that I've interacted with closely all over the country, I can't even name all of them because I signed agreements that I won't disclose who they are. but I've seen them do some of the following 10 things to make things better. One, screen candidates for implicit bias and aggression. Two, train candidates in de-escalation, recognition of mental illness and neurodivergence, and also implicit bias. Teach people that their biases exist. Number three, conduct regular training audits to combat complacency. Because as we change, so does police training need to change. Four, create a training environment that supports and encourages cultural curiosity. That means to have an intentionally diverse training staff, not a bunch of people who look just alike, who are eating the same things, who are wearing the same things, and live in the same neighborhoods. That's not going to train your police force. 14 Chevy Tahoes in the parking lot is not going to train your police force. Get some Priuses in there. That's a joke. That was a funny joke. If you were a cop, it's a funny joke. Right, sir? That's a good one if you're a cop. Yes, sir. All right. True transparency in internal investigations. Letting complainants know the progress of the actual investigation. Letting the public know the progress of the actual investigation. This is happening around the country. foster a police culture that embraces accountability rather than fears it. One of the things that I've done to kind of get my way back into that cop cookout is to explain to them that high accountability is good if you are good. That's okay. Use technology such as body-worn cameras to enhance accountability. This has been a big boon for me. My laptop at home has so many body cam videos that I could probably sell it for big money to a news outlet, but I'm not doing that. Center your department identity around the concept of community policing. And finally, help officers to understand it's to their benefit. To have these kind of concepts accepted by officers throughout the departments, we must teach that this approach is good for the public and for the police officers. It's a difficult job at times, and there's no getting around that. I mean, I could stand here and tell you some war stories about my worst days on the job. But I won't, because you're not ready. Only my therapist is ready for that. And that's for real, real. I got one. I need one. And I say, hallelujah, amen. Having an appropriate value for the concepts of supportiveness, teamwork, empathy, and care enables officers to better cope with the inevitable stress that goes with the job. Empathy and compassion are the two key ingredients that enabled me to serve for 34 years and to leave that job loving that job. because I exercised empathy and compassion. I'm very grateful for my experience, and I want to continue to use my life for good and for impact. I'm very thankful for you for listening to me today, but like Dr. King's short life, I want my actions to speak louder than these few words. Thank you.
[Terry Carter]: Pou moun ki gen pwoblèm vètikal, Mèsi anpil kouzen frè. Ou konprann misyon an klèman, e nou kontan dèske w te dakò pou w vin jwenn nou jodi a pandan n ap reflechi sou pwòp vwayaj nou an nan kominote nou renmen anpil la. Oke, emisyon nou an ap rive nan fen epi yon reyinyon tankou sa a pa ta dwe konplè san nou mete men ansanm ak chante ansanm. Se konsa, isit la mwen ta renmen prezante Mennen nou nan chante Imn Nasyonal Nwa a, chante byen fò, se vwa vil sa a. Mwen rele li vwa vil la, Stacey Clayton, ankò akonpaye pa bon zanmi mwen an, pyanis Jonathan Fagan.
[Clayton]: Tanpri leve kanpe si ou kapab. Si ou pa, ou ka chita. Chante byen fò epi nou pral tande ou.
[SPEAKER_04]: Chante byen fò jiskaske syèl la ak tè a sonnen. Li son tankou Harmony Ameriken. Se pou kè kontan nou an wo tankou syèl la k ap koute. Se pou li byen fò tankou lanmè a move. Chante yon chante pou lafwa. Chante yon chante ke sot pase nwa nou an te anseye nou. Se sa ki sot pase fè nwa a di nou. Chante yon chante ki ranpli ak espwa ki pote nou kounye a. Nou fè fas a solèy k ap leve nan yon nouvo jou ki te kòmanse. Ann kontinye jiskaske nou genyen. Se menm vèsè a ankò, paske mwen konnen ou konnen vèsè sa a. Leve chak vwa epi chante. Leve chak vwa epi chante. Jiskaske tè a rankontre syèl la. Li son plen nan libere amoni. Se pou kè kontan nou an wo tankou syèl la k ap koute. Se pou li byen fò tankou lanmè a move. Chante yon chante espwa ke sot pase nwa nou an anseye nou. Chante yon chante ki ranpli ak espwa ki pote nou kounye a. Anvan solèy la leve nan yon nouvo jou, se pou nou peze sou viktwa. Fè fas a solèy k ap monte. Nouvo jou nou an te kòmanse. Ann kontinye jiskaske nou genyen.
[Terry Carter]: Mèsi Stacey. Mèsi Jonatas. Donk mwen apresye sa. Mwen jis vle fè nou konnen Stacey ak koral kominotè li a pral fè yon konsè nan Somerville Community Baptist Church samdi 17 fevriye. Yo fè sa chak ane. mèveye. Mwen te gen opòtinite asiste plizyè fwa. Tan yo dwe detèmine, men nan fen apremidi a, Donk, si w lib jou 17 fevriye, Stacey Clayton nan Somerville Community Baptist Church ak etonan koral kominotè li a pral selebre Mwa Istwa Nwa ak mizik ak lòt aktivite. Se konsa, soti nan yon tradisyon pasyone nan yon lòt, Mwen ta renmen mansyone Rev Wendy Miller Orapade, pastè Christian Refuge United Church la. Pastè Wendy pral kite reyinyon sa a ak defi nou ak responsablite nou pou kontinye vwayaj nou pou fanmi nan Medford nou yo renmen anpil ak lòt kominote yo. Pastè Wendy.
[Wendy Miller Olapade]: 就这样吧。 就这样吧。 我必须说我非常兴奋。 我一整天都很焦虑。 我感到非常荣幸，非常非常荣幸。 你没有在听这个。 我感到非常荣幸能够被要求这样做，这样做。 几周前，当特里问我时，我说，特里，你真的想要一个白人老妇来接管社区吗？ 你知道他说什么吗？ 我希望这位白人老妇能够面对社区。 我在这个整个早上都盯着我的形象下面，感受到这一刻的责任。 那么我可以请你举起手来给我一些正能量吗，因为我很焦虑？ 我这样做已经30年了。 你可能会认为我知道如何做到这一点，而无需脚本和焦虑，但在这样的时刻走到一起，按照金要求我们成为一个社区是非常重要的。 然后你就可以把手放下了，谢谢。 我希望它能带来所有的能量，但它没有，但没关系。 我会开始说话，然后他就会离开。 今天早上，我开始思考这个深受喜爱的社区会是什么样子，正如马丁、科雷塔、国王中心以及许多其他渴望实现这一目标的人所设想的那样。 你能听清楚我说话吗？ 将会有种族和谐和多样性。 一个真正拥抱所爱社区理念的社会会积极促进种族和谐并庆祝多样性。 这在综合社区、学校和工作场所中显而易见，在这里，所有种族、宗教、观点和族裔的人们真正以尊重和公平的方式相互交流。 将会有经济正义和公平，史蒂夫。 史蒂夫还在吗？ 经济差异将通过公平的政策和做法来解决。 这包括教育、就业和住房方面的平等机会。 它还意味着支持那些生活在贫困中的人并努力实现财富和资源的更公平分配，对吧？ 将会有非暴力的冲突解决方案。 在心爱的社区中，无论是人际冲突还是国际冲突，都通过非暴力手段解决。 欧文，这种方法涉及对话、同理心、理解和同情心。 这将涉及致力于寻找互利的解决方案。 将会有社区的承诺和参与。 积极的社区参与是 Beloved 社区的一个关键特征。 鼓励人们参与公民生活并为决策过程做出贡献。 这可以体现在当地社区会议、艾琳·奥拉帕德、参与治理和志愿服务模式中。 将会有教育和道德发展。 我们在一个受人喜爱的社区中的系统不仅关注学业成绩，而且关注道德和伦理的发展。 他们会教授我们演讲者谈到的那些价值观，比如同理心、社会正义和社区服务，让每个人为社会做出积极贡献做好准备。 人们将获得医疗保健和社会服务，而且是全民性的，确保社区所有成员都能获得健康、充实的生活所需的支持。 我们会保护环境，对吗？ 深受喜爱的社区认识到保护地球及其环境的重要性。 可持续的做法和政策将成为常态，体现对地球和子孙后代的深深尊重。 将会有全球团结与和平。 亲爱的社区的原则超越了梅德福，超越了美国，促进全球团结、全球和平与全球合作。 解决贫困、气候变化和冲突等全球问题的努力将基于正义和非暴力原则。 文化和精神都会丰富。 庆祝多样性和鼓励精神成长的丰富文化生活将是不可或缺的。 这可能包括像这样的社区活动和艺术项目以及反思和精神联系的空间。 我们将实行恢复性司法。 一个受人爱戴的社区将专注于恢复性司法，而不是惩罚性司法系统，寻求治愈和重建关系，而不是简单地惩罚。 那么告诉我，我们到了吗？ 不，我们不是。 我们是否拥有一个深深植根于正义、公平、爱和尊重所有成员的社会、城市、宗教社区甚至邻里，让每个人都有机会成长并为共同利益做出贡献？ 不。 不，我们不。 你想要亲爱的社区吗？ 让我听听这个。 您想帮助实现这一目标吗？ 所以我今天邀请你们，我邀请你们与我和世界各地的人们一起做出承诺，正如丽莎提到的，成为爱。 丽莎一开始就提到了这一点。 你们有人这样做过吗？ 是的？ 好的。 有的话就起来吧。 帮我领导这件事。 Be Love 运动是在近年来巨大的不确定性和全球紧张局势中诞生的。 它以马丁·路德·金牧师博士的标志性话语为基础，他在其非凡而鼓舞人心的著作《我们该何去何从，混乱还是共同体？》中宣称，最好的力量是用爱来实现正义的要求。 最好的正义是爱，纠正一切反对爱的事物。 您需要再听一遍吗？ 最好的力量是实现正义要求的爱。 最好的正义就是用爱来纠正一切、一切反对爱的事物。 但是朋友们，仅仅说你想要一个受人喜爱的社区是不够的。 仅仅说你想成为爱是不够的。 我们必须让爱和正义成为现实。 我们必须活下去。 为了成为一种实现正义要求的爱，成为一种纠正一切反对爱的爱，成为一种被爱的社区实践的爱，我们必须实践金的呼吁，成为一个被爱的社区，那就是非暴力。 这是应对我们社会各个方面的冲突和消除不公正现象的有力而务实的方法。 非暴力是一种可以运用在我们的个人生活、学校、工作场所、当地社区以及国家和全球运动中的做法。 它是一种以爱为中心的思考、言语、参与和行动方式，能够带来个人、文化和社会的转变。 顺便说一句，Lisa 所说的“非暴力 365”金安哲学可以在网上供任何人查看和学习。 这就是为什么今天我嘱咐你要爱。 为此，我们必须认识到三件事。 我们世界上的暴力、压迫、不平等、不公正和仇恨必须结束。 你能这么说吗？ 逮捕逮捕。 我们有责任并发挥作用，推动社会变革，建设一个更加公正、人道、公平与和平的世界。 而此刻我们要决定做或不做某事，才能有勇气捍卫正义。 因此，我建议您自己做出决定。 从今天开始，亲自选择去爱。 致力于让爱引导你的思想、言语、决定和行动，并尊重每个人的人性。 致力于在爱中向权力说真话。 致力于战胜不公正，而不是摧毁一个人。 致力于支持表现出对人类之爱的领导人。 顺便说一句，这意味着投票。 承诺促进团结，拒绝延续或扩大分裂，并承诺勇敢地面对任何阻碍爱的事物，展现勇气、关怀和同情心的生活。 在此地、现在和今天，将此作为您的承诺。 成为爱。 爱情万岁。 让爱和正义变得真实。 访问 kingcenter.org。 这很容易。 您所要做的就是热爱 Google。 你会到达那里的。 是的？ 进入网站，签署承诺书，进入网站，报名参加培训，成为全世界的爱人，因为没有别的了。 谢谢。
