EP374 從被奴役的孩子到和林肯說話——弗雷德里克道格拉斯的路說的是什麼

弗雷德里克道格拉斯從一個沒有名字的被奴役的孩子走到了和林肯說話。他生命中最重要的那件事發生在很小的時候。他的主人說了一句話：不能讓他學閱讀，因為閱讀會讓奴隸無法再接受奴役的狀態。那句話告訴了他閱讀是自由的路。他在那個禁止的環境裡偷偷學了閱讀，用麵包換窮孩子教他認字。 他在一八三八年逃走，穿著水手的衣服搭火車到了麻薩諸塞州。他後來出版了自傳，成為廢奴運動最重要的演講者之一。他說過：如果你沒有奮鬥，你不會有進步，那個聲明裡所有的美好的東西都沒有辦法在沒有奮鬥的情況下得到。他的故事說的是語言是武器，知識是自由，沒有任何人可以拿走你學到的那個東西。 Frederick Douglass went from a child with no name, born into enslavement, to speaking with Abraham Lincoln. The most important moment of his life came when he was very young. His enslaver said something: you must not let him learn to read, because once a slave can read, there is no way to keep him satisfied with the condition of slavery. That sentence told him that reading was the path to freedom. He learned to read in secret, trading pieces of bread for time with poor children who would teach him letters. He escaped in 1838, dressed as a sailor, and reached Massachusetts by train. He later published his autobiography and became one of the most important speakers in the abolitionist movement. He said: if there is no struggle there is no progress — nothing that comes to us without struggle has any value. His story says language is a weapon, knowledge is freedom, and no one can take away what you have learned. 弗雷德里克道格拉斯, Frederick Douglass, 廢奴運動, 閱讀, 自由, 語言, 奴隸制, 美國歷史, 社會運動, 沉思者J, ThinkerJ, 典範人物, 社會運動 Powered by Firstory Hosting
