能与2012年TheNewsroom首集Will的speech“WhyAmericaisnotthegreatestcountryanymore”媲美了，如果我有一个sharpermind。Jay:Idon’tunderstandwhat’shappeninghere.Whatcountryisthis?Tina:ThisisAmerica.Jay:ThisisnottheAmericaIknow.WhenIcameherewithmyfamily,wehadnothingandwestruggle.Butwebuiltalifehereandwewerewelcomehere.Foryears,myDadkeptthislittlepictureofRonaldReganaboveourkitchentable,withthisquotesfromhimboutimmigrants.“Thisfamiliescameheretowork.Theycametobuild.Theybroughtwiththemcourage,ambition,andthevaluesoffamily.”ThatistheAmericaIknow.Iamanimmigrant.Iamthechildofimmigrants.Wewerewelcomehere.Tina:Andtodayyouprobablywouldn’tbe.ThisisAmerica.Itexpandsanditcontracts.Advancesandrecedes.Opensandcloses.Thisisacountrybirthedinfreedomandbuiltonslavery.Separatingfamilies?TheyseparatedtheblackfamiliesinAmericafor250years.Whatmakesthisfeelsobadnowisthatweexpectmore.Andthat’sagoodthing.Thispainisprogress.Butdonotforgetwhoweareandwherewecomefrom.IdonotforgetwhereIcamefrom.IgrewupinWestBaltimore,aroundthecornerfromwhereJusticeMarshallgrewup.ThisJusticeMarshall.Heknewmyfather.Hestoodinmylivingroom.TheelementaryschoolIwentto,Mt.Royal,Iwenttobecauseofhim.I’mhere,becauseofhim.Hewasthegrandsonofaslave,andhechangedAmericanlaw.HechangedtheveryideaoftheConstitution!Hemadeadocumentthatconsideredhimthree-fifthsofaman.Adocumentofliberation.ThisistheAmericaIknow.Abeaconandacurse.Lightanddarkness.Hopeanddespair.ThisisAmericarightnow.ButAmericaneverends.---------------------1.AnnaDeavereSmith的表演实在太漂亮，铿锵有力，抑扬顿挫。同片演员BenRappaport（饰演Seth）在推上说这段独白恰恰是AnnaDeavereSmith被称为国宝的原因。2.最后一句：这是我认识的美国。是一座灯塔也是一个诅咒。是光明也是黑暗。是希望也是绝望。这是如今的美国，然而我们从不消亡。3.从黑人的角度解读如今这段混乱的、以驱逐移民甚至不惜拆散家庭为使命的社会历史不得不说没有讽刺意味，但是演员演出了因为懂得所以慈悲的大悲大爱之感——我夸张了，请见谅。3.改变了法律的JusticeMarshall指的是用Brownv.BoardofEducation推翻美国隔离教育法案的那位法官，ThurgoodMarshall。他在1991年逝世。4.“五分之三个人”是美国奴隶制时代一个针对有效选举人数的一条协议法案。本文版权归作者pan所有，任何形式转载请联系作者。
