布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

When it is considered that the laying of this corner-stone took place in the heart of the South, in the “Black Belt,” in the centre of that part of our country that was most devoted to slavery; that at that time slavery had been abolished only about sixteen years; that only sixteen years before no Negro could be taught from books without the teacher receiving the condemnation of the law or of public sentiment—when all this is considered, the scene that was witnessed on that spring day at Tuskegee was a remarkable one. I believe there are few places in the world where it could have taken place.

白话

安放奠基石这件事,发生在南方腹地的“黑人地带”,也就是当年最拥护奴隶制的地方;当时奴隶制废除才约十六年,而十六年前黑人读书,老师和学生都要遭法律或舆论谴责。把这些背景摆在一起,那个春天在塔斯基吉出现的场面就很不寻常——黑白双方聚在一起,为一座黑人学校奠基。华盛顿想说的是:社会变化可以很快,但需要有人先在具体地方做出样子。

上下文

美国内战后约十六年,南方黑人地带仍种族隔离严重,塔斯基吉学校在此背景下奠基。

今日一问

你所在的环境里,有没有一件“以前不可能”的事,其实可以靠具体行动先做出样子?
