the spirit will speak for my race


Explanation:
Another way would be " the spirit will speak for my people." just see the context. More than legal jargon, it looks like a spiritual leader talking about his race or people.

disagree  lenkiux: The translation is to literal, I think rearranging the words would be better, like "The spirit for my race will speak"

The spirit will speak for my people/race


Explanation:
I think it is a phrase by José Vasconcelos, Mexican writer and politician (PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG). I know for a fact that this phrase is used in all correspondence by the UNAM (universidad nacional autónoma de México) at the end of a letter underneath the signature for example. So a literal translation (with our without explanation - depending on the context) will do. Hope this helps.
