奧巴馬20多年前在哈佛大學首次現身電視發言(雙語)
奧巴馬1991年畢業于哈佛大學的法學院,獲得了“極優等”法學博士的學位,也是第一個擔任哈佛法學評論主編的非洲裔美國人,并在此期間獲得了全國范圍的認可。下面是20多年前,奧巴馬首次現身電視的。
The distinguished lawyer Charles Hamilton Houston was born in 1895, eight months before the Supreme Court's "separate but equal" ruling in Plessy vs. Ferguson.
1895年,就在最高法院對普萊西和弗格森頒布了“隔離但平等”的制度8個月前,著名的律師查爾斯·漢密爾頓·休斯敦出生了。
He spent his career fighting to overturn that infamous decision. At Howard University Law School, Houston trained a cod-ray of topnotch black lawyers. Among them was Mr. Justice, Thurgood Marshall.
他將自己的一生致力于顛覆這個聲名狼藉的決策。在霍華德大學法學院休斯敦訓練了一群一流的黑人律師。其中包括正義先生和瑟古德·馬歇爾。
Then as director of the NAACP's legal campaign, Houston masterminded the strategy that eventually led to the historic decision of Brown vs. Board of Education, which reversed the Supreme Court's position on "separate but equal". He set an important legal precedent in 1935 when he successfully challenged the University of Maryland Law School for refusing to admit a black student.
作為全國有色人種協進會法律活動的總監,休斯敦策劃了最終通向布朗訴托皮卡教育局案的策略,顛覆了最高法院在“隔離但平等”決策的地位。他在1935年成功挑戰了馬里蘭大學法學院拒絕接受黑人學生的政策,設立了一個重要的法律先例。
I'm Barack Obama, remembering Charles Hamilton Houston and celebrating a great moment in our history.
我是巴拉克·奧巴馬,請記住查爾斯·漢密爾頓·休斯敦,并為這個重要的歷史時刻歡呼吧。
