Economic opportunity : we especially complain against the denial of equal opportunities to us in economic life ; in the rural districts of the south this amounts to peonage and virtual slavery : all over the south it tends to crush labor and small business enterprises ; and everywhere american prejudice , helped often by iniquitous laws , is making it more difficult for negro - americans to earn a decent living 谋生机会:我们对于经济生活中被剥夺平等机会,尤其不满;在南部乡村,这种不平等发展为劳役偿债和实际上的奴役制;在整个南部,它趋于挤垮劳方和小型企业;在各地,往往在不公正的法律支持下,美国人的偏见使美国黑人要想获得象样的生活水平更为困难。
