布克‧華盛頓 (Booker
T. Washington) 發表亞特蘭大妥協案 (Atlanta
Compromise) 演說
1895年9月18日
西元1895年9月18日，一名記者擠在人群裡聆聽布克‧華盛頓發表有名的「亞特蘭大妥協案」演說。這名記者描述當時的情景：「他的雙眼與他的臉點燃了預言的火花….這感染了現場聽眾，而聽眾的回應就像來自旋風中心一樣。」布克‧華盛頓應該是1895年至1915年之間，美國最具影響力的非裔美人之一，他是第一位向種族混雜的南方人發表演說的非裔美人。華盛頓跟聽眾說了些什麼呢？

Washington deliver his famous "Atlanta Compromise" speech on September 18, 1895, described the event this way: "His eyes and his whole face lit up with the fire of prophecy... It electrified the audience, and the response was as if it had come from the throat of a whirlwind." One of the most politically powerful African Americans in the country from 1895 to 1915, Booker T. Washington was the first African American man ever to address a racially mixed Southern audience. What did Washington tell his audience?
