$25 pig

James Farmer Jr's closing remarks at Harvard speech, I cried! When all the people present stood up and the applause resounded throughout the auditorium, I saw the light of the national liberation of black people and the continuous improvement of the status of black people.
Indeed, it is not the judge who judges who wins or loses, but justice.
Black people's awareness of self-rights is constantly improving, and the nation is constantly awakening. They used the debate to awaken the consciousness of the famous race and liberated the black people. If China can also contribute to social issues in the debate, language and public opinion can play their due role!
In addition to the scene of the black man being tied up and burned alive, the most impressive thing is that the $25 pig is unforgettable to me.
Moved by the way little James' father was educated. They were forced to pay $25 for a pig they accidentally killed when they passed by a white manor house, and the $25 pig was stuck in my head. Maybe you can say that I sympathize with the weak, but I think what touched my heart was the sacrifice that my father made as the head of the family for the integrity of the family: bowing and obeying, all stemmed from two words: responsibility and responsibility! . At the same time, I also seem to feel the pain of being discriminated against. Just ask, white people also have their own families. Can the problem be solved by using a gun at every turn? Nothing more than a few more divided families. This reminds me of the Diaoyu Islands issue and contradiction between China and Japan now. And the historical contradictions and problems left over by Japan and China. Japan attaches great importance to family and affection, so why not think about families in other countries? (Sorry for digressing a bit)
Helpless, it is really only when your nation rises that you have the right to speak, and the right to be valued and respected. Fortunately, the current President of the United States is a black Obama, and the struggle and rise of black people have been substantively confirmed.
Debate can arouse national awakening and the promotion of national status; debate can make Obama become president. When will debate play such a role in China?

The Great Debaters quotes

  • Melvin B. Tolson: Take the meanest, most restless nigger. Strip him of his clothes in front of the remaining male niggers, female niggers, and nigger infants, tar and feather him, tie each leg to a horse facing an opposite direction, set him on fire, and beat both horses until they tear him apart in front of male, female and nigger infants. Bullwhip and beat the remaining nigger males within an inch of their life. Do not kill them but put the fear of God in them, for they can be useful for future breeding. Anybody know who Willie Lynch was? Anybody? Raise your hand. No one? He was a vicious slave owner in the West Indies. The slave-masters in the colony of Virginia were having trouble controlling their slaves, so they sent for Mr. Lynch to teach them his methods. The word "lynching" came from his last name. His methods were very simple, but they were diabolical. Keep the slave physically strong but psychologically weak and dependent on the slave master. Keep the body, take the mind.

  • Henry Lowe: School's the only place you can read all day. Except prison.
