Washington, D.C.
Carl Rowan was the first black president of an organization of top reporters in Washington called the Gridiron Club. The group does a show every year that makes fun of the American political process. Mr. Rowan often performed by singing or leading a comedy act. Carl Rowan used simple words when he spoke, yet he was very direct. He was criticized sometimes for that. Some people thought that his ideas were too liberal. Others thought he was too moderate. But most people thought his stories generally were very fair. Mr. Rowan talks about his life in his book, "Breaking Barriers".
Carl Rowan died September 23rd, 2000, in Washington, D.C. He was 75 years old. During the last years of his life, he suffered from diabetes and heart problems. But he never failed to write his newspaper column. He never let bad things slow him down.卡尔罗文是华盛顿的一个顶级记者组织——烤架俱乐部的首位黑人领导者。该小组每年都会就美国政治进程找些乐子，组织一个表演。罗文经常登台演唱或表演喜剧。卡尔罗文在讲话时用最简单的词语，但他非常直接。有时会因此受到批评。有些人认为他的想法太自由了。其他人认为他太温和了。但绝大多数人认为他的故事通常来讲是非常清楚的。罗文先生在他的《打破壁垒》一书中描述了他的人生。
卡尔罗文在2000年9月23日去世与华盛顿特区，享年75岁。在他人生的最后阶段，他饱受糖尿病和心脏病的折磨。但他从未放弃写自己的新闻专栏。他从来未曾让坏事拖了自己的后腿。
