布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
I think I was even more surprised to receive this invitation than I had been to receive the invitation to speak at the opening of the Exposition. It was to be a part of my duty, as one of the jurors, to pass not only upon the exhibits of the coloured schools, but also upon those of the white schools. I accepted the position, and spent a month in Atlanta in performance of the duties which it entailed. The board of jurors was a large one, containing in all of sixty members. It was about equally divided between Southern white people and Northern white people. Among them were college presidents, leading scientists and men of letters, and specialists in many subjects. When the group of jurors to which I was assigned met for organization, Mr. Thomas Nelson Page, who was one of the number, moved that I be made secretary of that division, and the motion was unanimously adopted. Nearly half of our division were Southern people. In performing my duties in the inspection of the exhibits of white schools I was in every case treated with respect, and at the close of our labours I parted from my associates with regret.

白话
布克·华盛顿收到评审邀请比收到演讲邀请更惊讶,因为评审不仅要看黑人学校,还要看白人学校。他接受了,在亚特兰大工作了一个月。评审团共六十人,南方白人和北方白人各半,包括大学校长、科学家、作家和专家。他所在的分组开会时,作家托马斯·纳尔逊·佩奇提议他当秘书,全票通过。分组里近半是南方人。他检查白人学校展品时处处受到尊重,结束时与同事依依不舍。
