布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
Later I met Mr. Cleveland, for the first time, when, as President, he visited the Atlanta Exposition. At the request of myself and others he consented to spend an hour in the Negro Building, for the purpose of inspecting the Negro exhibit and of giving the coloured people in attendance an opportunity to shake hands with him. As soon as I met Mr. Cleveland I became impressed with his simplicity, greatness, and rugged honesty. I have met him many times since then, both at public functions and at his private residence in Princeton, and the more I see of him the more I admire him. When he visited the Negro Building in Atlanta he seemed to give himself up wholly, for that hour, to the coloured people. He seemed to be as careful to shake hands with some old coloured “auntie” clad partially in rags, and to take as much pleasure in doing so, as if he were greeting some millionaire. Many of the coloured people took advantage of the occasion to get him to write his name in a book or on a slip of paper. He was as careful and patient in doing this as if he were putting his signature to some great state document.

白话
后来，克利夫兰先生以总统身份访问亚特兰大博览会时，我第一次见到他。应我和其他人的请求，他同意在黑人馆待一个小时，目的是参观黑人展览，并给出席的有色人种一个与他握手的机会。一见到克利夫兰先生，我就被他的简朴、伟大和粗犷的诚实所打动。此后我多次见过他，无论是在公共场合还是在他普林斯顿的私人住所，我越见他越钦佩他。当他访问亚特兰大的黑人馆时，他似乎在那一个小时里完全把自己交给了有色人种。他似乎同样小心地与一些衣衫褴褛的老黑人“阿姨”握手，并从中获得与问候百万富翁一样的乐趣。许多有色人种利用这个机会让他在书上或纸条上签名。他做这件事时同样仔细耐心，仿佛是在给某份重要的州文件签名。
