:31:18
I will not speak to you
from this paper.
:31:20
This paper is filled with words
that come from my head.
:31:22
L- I will try to speak to you with words
that come from my heart.
:31:29
Many of you
out there know me.
:31:32
You've cut my sugar cane
and harvested my coffee crop.
:31:36
And, yet, I have not known you.
:31:38
And in this, I've failed,
as I have failed in... other things.
:31:45
To deny this would be
to deny truth, and...
:31:49
I will speak
to you tonight only truth.
:31:53
I have passed you in the fields
or in the cocoa sheds...
:31:55
and you've been just a name,
or a face, or a number in a book.
:32:01
And I've lived in a world
through which you moved only as... shadows...
:32:06
to be feared or ignored.
:32:09
I've now lived in the two worlds
of Santa Marta.
:32:13
I know how they both think,
how they both feel.
:32:18
I also know that
they cannot exist...
:32:22
if they're cut off from each other
by suspicion and fear...
:32:26
each in its own loneliness...
:32:29
as no human being can exist,
in his own loneliness.
:32:35
This bridge I can help you build.
:32:40
I ask for your faith, your trust.
:32:44
Do not deny them to me.
:32:49
I'll answer any questions
from the floor.
:32:52
[Applause]
:32:56
The floor is now
open for questions.
:32:59
- I have a few, Mr. Chairman.
- [Applause]
