黑人示威游行(1)【沪江标准VOA11-20】

Thousands March in Washington to Call for Prosecution of Hate Crimes (1/2)

Reverend Al Sharpton, a well-known civil rights leader, organized the protest march, targeting the Justice Department for what he says is its failure to intervene and prosecute hate crimes against African Americans and other minorities. "No justice, no peace."

Organizers said more than 100 busloads came for the march, from as far away as Florida, Michigan, and Washington State.

Sharpton was joined by a number of leading black radio hosts, and by Martin Luther King III, the son of the slain civil rights leader. Sharpton was pleased at the turnout at Freedom Plaza in downtown Washington. "And look behind you all the way to the end of the plaza. From all over this country, we're here. The Justice Department wouldn't come to the people,we brought the people to the Justice Department."

Tensions flared between black and white students in the small town of Jena after a noose was hung from a tree at the high school - a symbol of the lynching of blacks in segregationist times. Three white students accused in that incident were suspended from school, but not prosecuted.

参考译文：

著名的民权领袖哈雷姆·阿尔·夏普顿牧师组织了针对律政司的示威游行。他说，律政司没能（公正）干预和裁决（种族）仇恨罪行。“没有公正，没有和平。”

组织者说100多辆大巴载着参加游行的人群，他们最远来自于弗罗里达、米歇根和华盛顿州。
 
很多顶尖的黑人电台主持人以及马丁路德三世（被杀害的民权领导人之子）参加了夏普顿组织的游行。在华盛顿市区自由广场，夏普顿看到聚集的人群时感到很欣慰。“向后看，这里有远道而来到达广场的人们。他们来自全国各地，我们在这里。律政司无法到人民中去，我们把人民带到律政司。”
 
在Jena小镇一所中学中，（白人学生）在树上使用了在种族隔离主义时期象征处以私刑的套索之后，黑人学生和白人学生之间的冲突开始升级。在那起事件中，被指控的三名白人学生已经休学，但他们并没有被起诉。
