带你认识SAT阅读里的名人1.Horace MannThis man was the leader of the movement to reform the public school system in the United States. Before the 1840s, compulsory school attendance was not common. He was instrumental in spreading state-funded free public education for youngsters across the country.霍拉斯·曼，教育家。毕业于布朗大学，致力于教育改革。他将公立学校教育系统来实行义务教育的体系推广到整个美国，还致力于构建平等教育权。被誉为“公立学校之父”。2.Harriet TubmanThis woman, along with Sojourner Truth, helped fugitive slaves flee slave states or the United States through an elaborate network called the Underground Railroad.哈莉特·塔布曼是美国废奴主义者，杰出的黑人废奴主义运动家。她本人就是一个逃跑的奴隶，帮助许多黑人奴隶逃亡，被称为“黑摩西”或“摩西祖母”。美国废奴主义运动的领袖约翰·布朗称她为“塔布曼将军”。3.Sojourner TruthThis woman, along with Harriet Tubman, helped fugitive slaves flee slave states or the United States through an elaborate network called the Underground Railroad.是和上面那位女士一起合作的另一位女士~“地下铁路”的重要组织者。“地下铁路”不是真正的铁路，它是指南北战争之前北方废奴主义者帮助南方奴隶逃亡的路线。4.Fredrick DouglassThis man published The North Star, an antislavery journal that chronicled the ugliness of slavery for readers, and argued that the Constitution could be used as a weapon against slavery. Thus, he argued for legal means of fighting slavery, in contrast to some other radical abolitionists, who advocated varying degrees of violence to achieve abolition.这个人真是不能更有名了。。。常常出现在各种SAT阅读里面。他也本身是一个特别励志的故事。他从一个奴隶自学成才，在20岁时逃跑开始演讲，详述自己的故事和奴隶制的弊端。他创办了《北极星报》，因意见不合与白人废奴主义者加里森决裂。他强调用法律为黑人夺得自由，而不是靠激进的暴力的起义便可扭转白人心中根深蒂固的禁锢黑人的思想。5.Sarah and Angelina GrimkeThese vehement abolitionists voiced their opposition to make dominance, thus starting the dialogue about women’s roles and the plight of women in the United States.这俩人同是女权主义者，开启了民众对女性角色的认知和女性的困境。
