Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
—— Martin Luther King, Jr.
自由从来都不是统治者自愿给予的,而是被压迫的人们自己争取来的。
——马丁·路德·金
The oppressed should never expect that the oppressors would have mercy on them and give up their domination voluntarily.Freedom is obtained by constantly struggling. 受压迫者永远莫要期望统治者良心发现,而主动放弃他们的权力。只有通过不断的斗争,才能获得自由。
