Part 3 – Translation
Translate the following passage into Urdu.
Martin Luther King came from a black family and so could not sit with his white friends on the buses or
in the cinema. He could not even attend the same school as they did. The law in the USA said that
black people could not do the same things as whites or live in the same way. King became a priest like
his father. He tried to improve the conditions of black people in America without using violence.
In 1955 a black woman was arrested after refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. All the
black people protested by refusing to use the buses in the city. This forced the bus company to change
their rules. After a few years more and more black people began to demand equal rights. Unfortunately,
many white people did not want blacks to have equal rights.
In 1963 King made a famous speech in Washington. He said that he had a dream that one day people
would be judged by how good they were, not by the colour of their skin. The following year he won a
Nobel Prize for his work to bring peace to the people of the USA. Not long afterwards he was shot dead
by one of his enemies.
