布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
In conclusion, may I repeat that nothing in thirty years has given us more hope and encouragement, and drawn us so near to you of the white race, as this opportunity offered by the Exposition; and here bending, as it were, over the altar that represents the results of the struggles of your race and mine, both starting practically empty-handed three decades ago, I pledge that in your effort to work out the great and intricate problem which God has laid at the doors of the South, you shall have at all times the patient, sympathetic help of my race; only let this be constantly in mind, that, while from representations in these buildings of the product of field, of forest, of mine, of factory, letters, and art, much good will come, yet far above and beyond material benefits will be that higher good, that, let us pray God, will come, in a blotting out of sectional differences and racial animosities and suspicions, in a determination to administer absolute justice, in a willing obedience among all classes to the mandates of law. This, this, coupled with our material prosperity, will bring into our beloved South a new heaven and a new earth.

白话
华盛顿最后说，三十年来最让他们充满希望、最拉近黑白种族距离的，就是这次博览会的机会。他比喻双方都站在祭坛前，三十年前几乎都两手空空。他承诺，在白人解决南方复杂问题时，黑人会给予耐心和同情的帮助。但他提醒，物质进步固然好，更高的善在于消除地域隔阂、种族敌意和猜疑，在于决心施行绝对正义，让各阶层自愿服从法律。物质繁荣加上这些，才能给南方带来新天新地。
上下文
这是华盛顿亚特兰大演讲的结尾，他呼吁种族合作，强调物质进步与正义、法治结合才能带来真正的社会更新。
