社评1201 眾议院首位黑人议长


社评1201  眾议院首位黑人议长





我看天下大小事


眾议院首位黑人议长


来自布碌克林的黑人眾议员哲佛林今天当选為眾议院民主党议领袖 取代自二零零三就出任议长之佩洛西


这是美国眾议院有史以来由黑人出任少数党领袖 也代表了时代交替由年轻一辈领军 参议院多数党领䄂苏麦表示 这是美国政治史上的一大转捩点 我们认為哲佛林将会代表全国各族人民之利益


早在黑人领䄂金恩博士领导民权运动以来 将诸多不平等之待遇推翻 其中包括赋予人人投票之公民权 这项争取民权运动改写了整个国家之歷史 包括华亚裔在内的公民都因而受益


回顾过去数十年来之政治活动 黑人政治家不断展露头角 许多大城市都选出了黑人市长 参眾两院也有许多黑人议员 他们在政治上佔有非常重要之地位


我们在此恭贺哲福林出任党领袖 并期盼他能继续登高一呼 维护人民权益共同促进国家政治安定经济繁荣






                                 House Democrats Change Leadership


Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York has been elected as the new Democratic House leader and makes history as the first black lawmaker to lead the party.


Jeffries took over the leadership following speaker Nancy Pelosi who has served as leader since 2003. Jeffries said this is ‘moment of transition.’ “We stand on the shoulders of giants, but we are also looking forward to being able to do what’s necessary at this moment to advance the issues.”


Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer called Jeffries’ election a “turning point” in the history of the United States Congress.


Since the early civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King led the civil rights movement, many unequal treatments have been overturned, including granting everyone the right to vote. The civil rights movement has rewritten the history of the whole country, including the Chinese Asian Americans. We all have benefitted from this.


We hereby congratulate Rep. Hakeem Jeffries on his new leadership position in the Democratic Party and look forward to his continuing to ascend to protect the rights and interests of the people, and jointly promote the country’s political stability and economic prosperity.
