        "Breaking Barriers."
        "The Coming Race War in America."
       
Carl Rowan lived with his wife, Vivien Murphy, in a large house in Washington, D.C. They had three children and four grandchildren. He had been a strong supporter of gun control laws. But in 1988, he was charged for firing a gun that he did not legally own. He shot and wounded a teenager who was on his property illegally. Rowan was arrested and tried. During the trial, he argued that he had the right to use whatever means necessary to protect himself and his family. The jury failed to reach a decision in the case. In 1991, Carl Rowan wrote a book about his life called "Breaking Barriers." Several years later, he wrote a book called "The Coming Race War in America." The book describes the exploding anger between blacks and whites and the possibility of a future race war. Some people praised the book. Others thought it was harmful and irresponsible.卡尔罗文和他的妻子薇薇安墨菲住在华盛顿特区的一个大房子里。他有三个孩子和四个孙辈。他是控枪政策的忠实支持者。但在1988年,他因非法持有枪支并开了一枪而被控告。他射击并伤害了一个试图非法侵占他的财产的年轻人。罗文被逮捕并被审问。在审判过程中,他强调他自己有以任何方式保卫自己和家庭的权利。该案中陪审团未能成功达成一致。1991年,卡尔罗文写了一本关于自己人生的书,名为《打破壁垒》。该书描写了黑白两色人种间的升级的愤怒和将来种族战争爆发的可能性。有人赞扬该书。也有人觉得他是有害而不负责任的。
