布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

While speaking of changes in public sentiment, I recall that about ten years after the school at Tuskegee was established, I had an experience that I shall never forget. Dr. Lyman Abbott, then the pastor of Plymouth Church, and also editor of the Outlook (then the Christian Union), asked me to write a letter for his paper giving my opinion of the exact condition, mental and moral, of the coloured ministers in the South, as based upon my observations. I wrote the letter, giving the exact facts as I conceived them to be. The picture painted was a rather black one—or, since I am black, shall I say “white”? It could not be otherwise with a race but a few years out of slavery, a race which had not had time or opportunity to produce a competent ministry.

白话

在谈到公众情绪的变化时,我回忆起塔斯基吉学校成立大约十年后,我的一次难忘经历。当时的普利茅斯教堂牧师兼《展望》杂志(当时叫《基督教联盟》)编辑莱曼·阿博特博士,请我给他的报纸写一封信,根据我的观察,给出我对南方有色人种牧师精神和道德确切状况的看法。我写了那封信,给出了我认为的确切事实。描绘的画面相当黑暗——或者,既然我是黑人,我该说“白色”吗?对于一个刚刚摆脱奴隶制几年、还没有时间或机会培养出合格神职人员的种族来说,情况不可能不是这样。

上下文

布克·T·华盛顿应莱曼·阿博特博士之邀,评价南方黑人牧师的状况,他直言不讳。

今日一问

当被要求公开评价自己群体的弱点时,你如何平衡诚实与建设性?
