1927年,美国的阿肯色州密西西比河大堤被洪水冲垮,一个九岁黑人小男孩的家全部葬入水底,幸好在洪水即将吞噬男孩的一刹那,母亲用力把他拉上了堤坡。 1932年,男孩八年级毕业了,但阿肯色城的中学不招收黑人,要到芝加哥城读中学,家里远远没有那么多钱。这时,母亲作出了惊人的决定,让男孩复读一年,而她为整整50名工人洗衣、熨衣和做饭,为孩子攒钱上学。
In 1927, the embankment of the Mississippi River in the US state of Arkansas was washed over by flooding. The house of a nine-year-old black boy was all buried underwater. Fortunately, at the moment when the flood was about to swallow the boy, his mother forced him to lean up the bank. In 1932, the boy graduated in eighth grade, but Arkansas City’s high school did not recruit blacks, and went to secondary school in Chicago without much money. At this time, her mother made a surprising decision to repeat the boy for one year while she was laundering, ironing and cooking for a full 50 workers, saving her children money to go to school.
