布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
The effort to secure help from the Slater and Peabody Funds brought me into contact with two rare men—men who have had much to do in shaping the policy for the education of the Negro. I refer to the Hon. J.L.M. Curry, of Washington, who is the general agent for these two funds, and Mr. Morris K. Jessup, of New York. Dr. Curry is a native of the South, an ex-Confederate soldier, yet I do not believe there is any man in the country who is more deeply interested in the highest welfare of the Negro than Dr. Curry, or one who is more free from race prejudice. He enjoys the unique distinction of possessing to an equal degree the confidence of the black man and the Southern white man. I shall never forget the first time I met him. It was in Richmond, Va., where he was then living. I had heard much about him. When I first went into his presence, trembling because of my youth and inexperience, he took me by the hand so cordially, and spoke such encouraging words, and gave me such helpful advice regarding the proper course to pursue, that I came to know him then, as I have known him ever since, as a high example of one who is constantly and unselfishly at work for the betterment of humanity.

白话
为争取斯莱特和皮博迪两个基金的支持，我认识了两位难得的人：柯里博士和杰瑟普先生。柯里是南方人，还当过邦联士兵，可他比谁都关心黑人的福祉，也没有种族偏见，黑人和南方白人都信得过他。我第一次见他时在里士满，年轻没经验，紧张得发抖，他却热情握手，说鼓励的话，给实在的建议。这让我明白：真正做事的人，不看出身和立场，看的是他是否无私地为人的改善出力；遇到这样的人，要珍惜并学习。

你能否放下对某人背景的成见，只看他是否真心把事情做好？
