布克．华盛顿 (Booker
T. Washington) 发表亚特兰大妥协案 (Atlanta
Compromise) 演说
1895年9月18日
华盛顿在乔治亚州亚特兰大市的国际博览会，向南方棉花州传递他对勤勉、耐心，以及容忍的看法。因为他对内战后，南方各州在重建时期表现出来的暴力与动荡感到厌烦，华盛顿向黑人演说时指出他们应该要慢慢走向自助，获致经济上的保障与安全，并且让大家逐渐获致政治上的平等。但是有些非裔美人领袖，包括杜柏伊斯 (W.E.B.
Dubois) 在内，却认为华盛顿这种强调渐进式的经济与社会发展不符合需求，这些领袖主张要立即进行政治与强化黑人社群的之事能力。杜柏伊斯还推动一个「反布克运动」，要求立即获致政治平等。你对华盛顿这种耐心等待平等到来的说法有什么想法呢？
Washington used the opening of the Cotton States and International Exhibition in Atlanta, Georgia, to send his message of industry, patience, and tolerance. Tired of the violence and turbulence that the South experienced during Reconstruction after the Civil War, he talked to blacks about self-help, attaining economic security, and allowing political equality to happen over time. Some African-American leaders, including W.E.B. Du Bois, rejected Washington's emphasis on gradual economic and social advancement in favor of immediate political and intellectual empowerment. Du Bois formed an "anti-Bookerite" movement calling for immediate equality. What do you think of Washington's patient approach to gaining equality?
