美国第32任总统富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福的妻子——安娜·埃莉诺·罗斯福是一位不同寻常的第一夫人,她不是以传统的白宫女主人的形象,而是作为杰出的社会活动家、政治家、外交家和作家被载入历史史册的。埃莉诺·罗斯福之所以取得这么大的成就,其关键因素之一是她与富兰克林·德拉诺·罗斯福的婚姻关系。
Hints:
Mrs. Roosevelt

Marian Anderson
Constitution Hall in Washington
One issue Mrs. Roosevelt became involved in was equal rights for black Americans. She met publicly with black leaders to hear their problems. Few American politicians did this during the 1930s and 1940s. One incident involving Mrs.Roosevelt became international news. In 1939, an American singer, Marian Anderson, planned a performance at Constitution Hall in Washington. But a conservative women's group refused to permit her to sing there because she was black.罗斯福太太很关心的一个问题当属黑人平权问题。她和黑人领袖公开见面,倾听他们的问题。在20世纪30年代和40年代,很少有美国政客会这么做。一个和她有关的事件在当时成为国际新闻。在1939年,一位美国歌手,玛丽安.安德森,计划在华盛顿的宪法大厅举办一场演出。但一个保守的妇女组织拒绝让她在那里演出,因为她是黑人。 |
