布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

This flag Sergeant Carney held in his hands as he sat on the platform, and when I turned to address the survivors of the coloured regiment who were present, and referred to Sergeant Carney, he rose, as if by instinct, and raised the flag. It has been my privilege to witness a good many satisfactory and rather sensational demonstrations in connection with some of my public addresses, but in dramatic effect I have never seen or experienced anything which equalled this. For a number of minutes the audience seemed to entirely lose control of itself.

白话

老兵卡尼军士坐在台上,手里一直握着那面旗。华盛顿转向在场的黑人军团幸存者讲话,提到卡尼时,卡尼像本能一样站起来,举起旗帜。华盛顿说,他见过不少演讲引发的热烈场面,但从没在戏剧效果上见过能与此相比的:全场观众好几分钟完全失控。这面旗和这个动作,把历史、牺牲和在场者连成了一体。

上下文

卡尼军士在南北战争中负伤仍护住国旗,是黑人军团英勇的象征;华盛顿在纪念碑揭幕演讲时提及他。

今日一问

什么样的具体象征物,能让我和一段重要历史真正连接起来?
