Rebirth in America
Chapter 138 Black and White
After returning to his residence, Jin immediately sent someone to collect Alex's information.
He wants to know all the relevant information, whether it's personality, hobbies or something else. He wants to know everything and cannot let go of any useful information.
Soon, a thick pile of documents was placed in front of him.
Alex Carpenter is a celebrity, and his deeds are widely available and don't take much effort to obtain.
"Alex Carpenter is 16 years old this year. He was born in a working-class family in Chicago. He has been very smart since he was a child and has a high IQ. He started learning music and performing on stage when he was 4 years old. He recorded records when he was about 9 years old and became famous in one fell swoop. He starred in his first movie at the age of 10, and directed "The Sound of Music" at the age of 14, which broke box office records. Not only was he successful in music and movies, he also published a best-selling children's work and invented a toy called the hula hoop. Popular all over the world...it is said that he also invented the diode, transistor radio, transistor computer, etc."
The more Jin looked at it, the more surprised he became. He had heard of Alex's name a long time ago and thought it was just a rumor. What I didn't expect was that all this would turn out to be true.
"This guy is really amazing!" Jin sighed.
For such an outstanding person, if he can win over him, it will be of great help to his career. Jin surged with fighting spirit, wanting to remove all obstacles in front of him and achieve his wish as soon as possible.
Jin quickly contacted Alex's assistant, and he asked to meet with Alex.
“Martin Luther King wants to see me?”
Alex looked at the assistant strangely, a little unsure whether to meet him or not. After all, he was here as a person with a name in history.
The assistant nodded and said: "Yes, but I advise you not to see each other. To avoid any misunderstanding, the civil rights movement is getting more and more intense now, and our concert is so eye-catching. If someone can take advantage of this... "
Alex felt that the assistant's words were quite good, so he gave up his desire to meet with the black leader.
However, he couldn't refuse directly, so he made an excuse and just told the other party that he didn't have time to meet. Unexpectedly, Jin was not discouraged and came one after another to ask Alex if he had time to meet, as if he was just visiting the thatched cottage.
Alex knew that such avoidance was not an option, so he asked his assistant to tell Jin that the two could meet after the last day of the concert in New York.
After getting the news, Jin immediately took out his outfit, including a black suit, white shirt and leather shoes.
After he got everything ready, he looked in the mirror and felt good about how neatly he looked.
King was born in Atlanta in 1929, his father was a church pastor and his mother was a school teacher.
When he finished grammar school and high school, King entered Atlanta Moore College in 1944, where he received a bachelor's degree and a Ph.D. After getting married, he moved back to the south side of Atlanta and became the pastor of a church.
Since becoming the leader of the civil rights movement, he has considered uniting more people to promote the movement. He opposes extreme violence and has always advocated the use of non-violent resistance to fight for rights.
But in the North, King soon discovered that angry young blacks paid little attention to his exhortations and were even more dismissive of his calls for peaceful resistance.
Although King sought to balance his pursuit of peace and civil rights, the reality created discord among activists.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) believes that King made a "serious strategic error" by shifting the focus of the struggle.
The Urban League also warned: "The civil rights movement's 'limited resources' may be quickly exhausted."
From a historical perspective, Jin's choice was extremely correct.
Under his call, students, university professors, intellectuals, church officials and reformers all joined the movement. Not only black people, but also white people at the bottom of society and the enlightened upper class are his targets.
In his view, eradicating poverty can truly improve the social status of black people. Among the poor in the United States, black people account for a large part. In addition to black people, there are other people of color and white people.
In fact, his approach was equivalent to kidnapping the entire lower class onto his chariot, so the civil rights movement could achieve victory one after another under his leadership.
He called on the government to provide family income protection and hinted that the authorities would launch a nationwide boycott movement. He also said that there would be non-violent "encampment"-style sit-ins that would paralyze the city.
With these ideas in mind, he began to plan a large-scale Poor People's March on Washington, hoping to get the attention of Congress through a heavyweight and large-scale demonstration movement, thereby solving the survival problems of many desperate and poor Americans.
Poverty not only affects people at the bottom, but also causes social unrest and makes the upper class feel restless. These were the people King wanted to win over, at least not to become obstacles to the civil rights movement.
It was obvious that people like Alex were his allies, and he believed that as long as the other party supported or sympathized with the civil rights movement, victory was the beginning.
Alex met the famous leader of the civil rights movement, Martin Luther King, at the residence where he settled.
This is a simple-looking black man with a tall build and a trademark beard. His eyes were piercing, as if they had the power to penetrate people's hearts. He has a deep voice, and when he speaks, people will listen attentively.
King's image in China has always been that of "Gao Daquan", from a leader of the black movement who resisted the oppression of US imperialism to a symbol of the power of American progress.
In fact, Jin himself was not perfect. As a priest, he committed adultery and whored with prostitutes. As a Ph.D., plagiarism, plagiarism.
These things have long been spread in later generations, and Alex only found out about them when he accidentally saw them.
It is said that it was FBI Director Hoover who personally ordered the surveillance of King's private life. Because he believed that Kim might be related to the GCD and was a spy planted by the Soviet Union in the United States, he accidentally discovered the ugly side of this human rights fighter.
However, Alex never thought these stains were anything, after all, no one was perfect. When it comes to plagiarism and plagiarism, he has done a lot.
The two parties shook hands and said hello, then sat down and prepared to start talking.
"Let's have some drinks. Do you want coffee or milk tea?"
"Okay, let's get some coffee."
The people below immediately brought the drinks. After they took a few sips, Dr. King said: "I came here this time to thank you for your contribution to the civil rights movement during this time. If it weren't for your support, I'm afraid we would There’s no way black people can stand at a concert.”
Alex smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing. In my eyes, fans are all the same, regardless of skin color or race. As long as they are my fans, they have the right to watch the concert live."
Dr. King agreed: "Yes, all human beings are created equal. Regardless of men and women, black and white, old and young, wise and foolish, and regardless of whether people have the same hobbies, qualifications and property, they are all human beings, and they are all human beings who can think. You should be respected as a member of the extended family.”
"On this issue of equality, I think we have the same view. In the eyes of God, we are all equal." Alex carefully weighed his words, not wanting to disappoint Dr. King, but also not wanting to disappoint others. Leave a handle.
"No matter what, I still have to thank you. I also went to the concert that day. Your songs were beautiful and touching."
"When you come to see me in person, you don't just want to say thank you. What's the matter?"
Dr. King knew that if he did not reveal his purpose now, he might lose the opportunity.
So I thought about it and said: "I know that many people who sympathize with us dare not speak out their thoughts loudly. I don't expect you to support us publicly. I just want to make friends with you. I understand, You have many black friends around you, and they are very close to you. In this case, one more of me is not more, and one less of me is not more. What do you think?"
make friends? Is it as simple as just making friends?
After Alex heard what Dr. King said, he immediately became alert. This was probably the other party's attempt to drag him down bit by bit. As expected of a pastor, he knows how to approach himself in a gentle and gentle way.
Refuse?
In fact, Alex had no reason to refuse.
At least there is no proper reason on the surface. Could it be that I have too many black friends, so I don’t want to add another black friend? What would Chuck and Little Richard think if such words spread? UU Reading www.uukanshu.net
Alex does have a lot of black friends around him, and he is more or less influenced by those people.
For them, Dr. King is their spiritual leader. If he does it too obviously, he may make those black friends feel resentful.
If you accept it, you will most likely fall into the other party's plan. If only Dr. King had used his example as a white friend when speaking in public. Wouldn't that mean putting him on the fire? This is really life-threatening and really troublesome.
Alex didn't think for a long time. He knew that there would be problems whether he went left or right at this time, so he just had to do what he wanted.
He smiled and said: "Of course! As long as you treat me as a friend, of course I will treat you as a friend. I will never refuse to have one more friend."
Dr. King showed his white teeth and smiled. The white teeth look particularly dazzling under the black skin.
In fact, he had never thought of using Alex for anything, and making friends was just a temporary idea.
For him, one more friend means one less enemy. As for using Alex as a target to attract the hatred of white people, he had never thought about it.
Dr. King went back satisfied, and Alex finally breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he was too careful, perhaps because of the FBI's tracking and surveillance.
I don’t know if the FBI eavesdropped on this conversation. Alex would be a little worried if someone held a grudge against him.
