布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
To say that Mr. Washington has won the gratitude of all thoughtful Southern white men, is to say that he has worked with the highest practical wisdom at a large constructive task; for no plan for the up-building of the freedman could succeed that ran counter to Southern opinion. To win the support of Southern opinion and to shape it was a necessary part of the task; and in this he has so well succeeded that the South has a sincere and high regard for him. He once said to me that he recalled the day, and remembered it thankfully, when he grew large enough to regard a Southern white man as he regarded a Northern one. It is well for our common country that the day is come when he and his work are regarded as highly in the South as in any other part of the Union. I think that no man of our generation has a more noteworthy achievement to his credit than this; and it is an achievement of moral earnestness of the strong character of a man who has done a great national service.

白话
说华盛顿赢得了所有有思想的南方白人的感激,等于说他在一项大型建设任务中运用了最高明的实践智慧;因为任何重建自由人生活的计划,如果违背南方舆论,都不可能成功。赢得南方舆论的支持并塑造它,是任务中必不可少的部分;他在这方面非常成功,南方对他怀有真诚而高度的敬意。他曾对我说,他记得并感恩那一天:他长大到能把南方白人当作北方白人一样看待。他和他的工作在南方的评价与在联邦任何地方一样高,这对我们共同的国家是好事。我认为我们这一代没有人比他更值得称道的成就了;这是道德热忱和坚强性格的成就,一个人为国家提供了伟大的服务。
