简介
President Obama has paid tribute to the demonstrators who were beaten and teargassed by police 50 years ago in Alabama as the march for the rights of black people to vote. Speaking in Selma at the Edmund Pettus bridge where much of the violence took place, President Obama praised the courage of Americans who proved the peaceful protest could lead to change. But he added that more are need to be done to bring about equality in the America.
We just need to open our eyes and our ears and our hearts to know that this nation’s racial history still passed its long shadow upon us. We know the march is not yet over. We know the racism is not yet won. We know that reaching that blessed destination where we are judged all of us by the content of our character requires admitting as much facing up to the truth.
奥巴马总统向50年前在阿拉巴马州为争取黑人选举权游行中被警察殴打和用催泪瓦斯对付的游行者致敬。奥巴马在暴力发生地埃德蒙佩特斯桥讲话,他赞扬了美国人的勇气,他们证明了和平抗议可以促成改变。但他说需要做更多努力来给美国带来平等。
我们仍需用双眼去看,用耳朵去聆听,去我们的心去感受,才能知道这个国家的种族历史给我们留下了很长的阴影。我们知道游行仍没有结束,我们知道种族主义没有得胜,我们知道,要实现我们被人评价依据的是品质这个目标,需要承认我们所面对的现实。
