ANNOUNCING CONVENTION INSTALLMENT PLAN

The cost for the 2025 NJCL Convention at Miami University has not been finalized. 

We are very aware of the continued rising cost of the NJCL Convention.  To help out our delegates,  we have set up an installment plan for individuals to pay for their convention registration in smaller, more frequent installments rather than as one large payment.  This program is available to all delegates - JCL, SCL, and adults.

Individuals may sign up for the installment plan using this registration form.  After completing the form, individuals will receive information about their payment plan.

  • Participants will receive an invoice for $200 by January 1, $200 by March 1, $200 by May 1, and an invoice for the balance by July 1. 

  • You may pay by credit card, Venmo, or send a check.  Purchase Orders are not accepted for this program.

  • If you join the program after January 1, you will receive the March and May invoices for $200, and the July 1 invoice will reflect the total remaining balance.

  • If you subsequently receive an NJCL Scholarship or other means of payment, the installments paid will be refunded. 

 

If you join the program and are unable to attend Convention, you will be able to receive a refund for the total amount paid as long as you cancel in writing to administrator@njcl.org on or before June 27, 2025 which is the Convention cancellation deadline.

I Have a Dream Speech

By Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

 

(Latin version)

Hodie vobis dico, mei amici, contra difficultates et momenti temporis vana, adhuc somnium habeo. Id est somnium alte inveteratum in Somnio Americano.

Somnium habeo uno die hanc nationem surrecturam esse et victuram pro fide vera: “Tenemus has veritates manifestas esse–omnes viros aequos creatos esse.

Somnium habeo uno die, in collibus rubris Georgiensis, filios illorum servorum et filios illorum dominorum una ad germanitatis mensam consessuros esse.

Somnium habeo uno die etiam civitatem Mississippiensem–civitatem desertam incendentem iniuriae et servitudinis calore–in libertatis iustitiaeque oasem mutatum iri.

Somnium habeo uno die meos quattuor liberos parvos habituros in natione in qua non cutis colore iudicentur sed morum contento. Somnium hodie habeo!

Somnium habeo uno die Alabamiensem (cuius gubernatoris labri nunc stillant interpositionis et recusationis verba) mutatum iri in situm in quo pueri nigri et puellae nigrae possint coniungere manus cum pueris puellisque albis, et una ambulabunt ritu sororum fratrumque. Somnium hodie habeo!

Somnium hodie habeo. Somnium habeo uno die omnem vallem elatum iri, ommnem montem demissum iri, loca aspera plana factum iri, et loca prava recta factum iri, et Domini gloriam patefactum iri et omnes eam una visuros esse.

Haec est spes nostra. Haec est fides quacum ad regionem australem redeo. Hac fide poterimus mutare Reipublicae tinnulas discordias in germanitatis symphoniam pulchram.

Hac fide simul laborare poterimus, simul orare, simul contendere, simul ad carcerem ire, simul pro libertate adstare poterimus scientes nos uno die liberos futuros esse.

Hic erit dies in quo Dei liberi omnes poterint significatione nova canere, “Patria mea, de te, libertatis terra dulcis, de te cano. Terra in qua patres mei mortui sunt, terra peregrinatoris decoris, de omnis montis lateribus libertas resonet.”

Et si America natio magna futura est, haec vera facienda sunt.

Ergo, libertas resonet de Novae Hanoniae ingentibus summis collibus.

Libertas resonet de Novi Eboraci magnis

montibus. Libertas resonet de Pennsylvaniensis amplificantibus Alleghenibus.

Libertas resonet de Coloradiensis scopulis nivosis

Libertas resonet de Californiensis formosis summis!

Sed non solum ita: Libertas resonet de Georgiensis Monte Lapideo. Libertas resonet de Missisipiensis omni colle et minimo impedimento.

Libertas resonet de omnis montis lateribus. Quando permittimus ut libertas resonet de omni pago et omni vico, de omni civitate et omni urbe, poterimus maturare illam diem in qua Dei liberi–nigri albique, Iudaei et Gentiles, Protestantes et Catholici–omnes poterunt coniungere manus et canere verba illius Nigrorum hymni antiqui, “Tandem liberi, tandem liberi! Deo Omnipotenti gratias agite, tandem liberi sumus!”
