黑人女最高法院法官呼之欲出

 参议院审查美国最高法院法官布朗积克逊之听証会今天将继续, 民主和共和两党议员将对这位黑人女法官进行一连串的询问, 对她过往之経歷政见再度审查, 如果她能顺利过关, 将是美国歷史上第一位黑人女性最高法院法官。

 根据最高法院之记録， 在过去一百一十五位法官中， 一百零八位都是白人 ，民主党认為积克逊法官之提名代表了划时代之意义 ，共和党表示他们不会做强力之杯葛， 法官之投票预计将在四月份投票。

 我们十分支持积克逊法官能顺利通过，成為有史以来最高法院法官 ，这代表了美国少数族裔及妇女能在司法方面发声， 也象徴司法参与和平等之进步。

 长久以来， 司法公正和公信力是美国最大的社会矛盾之一， 最高法院法官撑握了司法之最大和最后的解释权 ，我们盼望这个最高司法机关注入新血， 共同為人民之司法公平正义而努力。

 纳瓦索达寻宝记

 位於德州州际公路105 号和六号之交匯处， 这座人口不到八千人的小镇纳瓦索达 ，被州议会定名為蓝调音乐之都， 蓝调音乐又称布鲁斯 ，公认為当代流行音乐的根源之一， 它其实是美国黑人的民间音乐风格， 早在南北战争之前就巳成型， 这种流行根源是来自非洲大陆。

 為了纪念已故音乐蓝调歌唱家林士卡罗在这个小镇出生 ，整个市内充满着音乐文化气氛 ，走在整洁宽大的市内马路上， 许多早年之古式建筑和鲜艷之花卉 令人心旷神怡。

 在街道两旁 ，意想不到有两家古董店， 店内充斥着欧式傢俱、 餐具 、古玩和枪械， 而且价格十分便宜， 其中也有一些东方物品 ，我们买了幅中国手工刺绣， 只花了十八美元 ，可能连运费都不够 ，其中还有许多仿古之花瓶、 瓷器 、价格都在几十或几美元之内。

 春天来了 ，这是踏青时节 ，在德州各地有无数的小城镇， 他们人少地大， 家家座落在广大的土地上， 仍然过着无忧无虑之乡下生活， 这难道不是另一种的幸福吗？

Black Female Supreme Court Justice About To Be Confirmed

The senate’s hearing to review U.S. Supreme Court Justice nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will continue today. Members of the Democratic and Republican parties will conduct a series of inquiries about the black judge and review her background. If she can pass the confirmation, she will be the first black female Supreme Court judge in American history.

According to the record of the Supreme Court, 108 of the 115 judges have been white. The Democratic Party believed that judge Jackson’s nomination represents epoch-making signification. The vote is expected in April.

We strongly support Judge Jackson’s becoming a judge of the Supreme Court which represents that American minorities and women can speak out in the judiciary and reflect equality and participation.

For a long time the judicial justices and their credibility have been the biggest social contradiction in our nation. Supreme Court judges have held the final right to interpretation of the law. We are hoping that this nomination will change some of the injustices of the past.

Navasota Treasure Hunt

Located at the intersection of State Highway 105 and Highway 6 is the City of Navasota with a population of just eight thousand. In 2005, the Texas Legislature designated the City of Navasota as the “Blues Capital of Texas” in honor of the late Mance Lipscomb, a Navasota native and blue musician.

In this small town, both sides of the street are filled with beautiful flowers, small stores and antique shops. One of the stores is full of European furniture and kitchenware. We found a fine Chinese handmade embroidery work that cost only eighteen dollars.

Spring is here and it's "getting out” season. There are so many small towns in Texas. We can go visit many people who live in the countryside with large land areas who live a simple country life. Isn’t this another kind of happiness?
