1:30:19
I will not speak to you
from this paper.
1:30:21
This paper is filled with words
that come from my head.
1:30:23
L- I will try to speak to you with words
that come from my heart.
1:30:30
Many of you
out there know me.
1:30:33
You've cut my sugar cane
and harvested my coffee crop.
1:30:37
And, yet, I have not known you.
1:30:39
And in this, I've failed,
as I have failed in... other things.
1:30:46
To deny this would be
to deny truth, and...
1:30:50
I will speak
to you tonight only truth.
1:30:54
I have passed you in the fields
or in the cocoa sheds...
1:30:57
and you've been just a name,
or a face, or a number in a book.
1:31:02
And I've lived in a world
through which you moved only as... shadows...
1:31:07
to be feared or ignored.
1:31:10
I've now lived in the two worlds
of Santa Marta.
1:31:14
I know how they both think,
how they both feel.
1:31:19
I also know that
they cannot exist...
1:31:23
if they're cut off from each other
by suspicion and fear...
1:31:27
each in its own loneliness...
1:31:30
as no human being can exist,
in his own loneliness.
1:31:36
This bridge I can help you build.
1:31:42
I ask for your faith, your trust.
1:31:45
Do not deny them to me.
1:31:50
I'll answer any questions
from the floor.
1:31:53
[Applause]
1:31:57
The floor is now
open for questions.
