$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

  • James Farmer Jr.: We do what we have to do in order to do what we want to do.

  • James Farmer Jr.: In Texas they lynch Negroes. My teammates and I saw a man strung up by his neck and set on fire. We drove through a lynch mob, pressed our faces against the floorboard. I looked at my teammates. I saw the fear in their eyes and, worse, the shame. What was this Negro's crime that he should be hung without trial in a dark forest filled with fog. Was he a thief? Was he a killer? Or just a Negro? Was he a sharecropper? A preacher? Were his children waiting up for him? And who are we to just lie there and do nothing. No matter what he did, the mob was the criminal. But the law did nothing. Just left us wondering, "Why?" My opponent says nothing that erodes the rule of law can be moral. But there is no rule of law in the Jim Crow south. Not when Negroes are denied housing. Turned away from schools, hospitals. And not when we are lynched. St Augustine said, "An unjust law in no law at all.' Which means I have a right, even a duty to resist. With violence or civil disobedience. You should pray I choose the latter.
