At the beginning of the World Series of 1947,I experienced a completely new emotion,when the National Anthem was played. This time,I thought,it is being played for me,as much as for anyone else.This is organized major league baseball,and I am standing here with all the others;and everything that takes place includes me.

About a year later,I went to Atlanta,Georgia,to play in an exhibition game.On the field,for the first time in Atlanta,there were Negroes and whites.Other Negroesbesides me.And I thought: What I have always believed has come to be.

And what is it that I have always believed? First,that imperfections are human.But that wherever human beings were given room to breathe and time to think,those imperfections would disappear,no matter how slowly.I do not believe that we have found or even approached perfection.That is not necessarily in the scheme of human events.Handicaps,stumbling blocks,prejudices — all of these are imperfect.Yet,they have to be dealt with because they are in the scheme of human events.

Whatever obstacles I found made me fight all the harder.But it would have been impossible for me to fight at all,except that I was sustained by the personal and deep-rooted belief that my fight had a chance.It had a chance because it took place in a free society.Not once was I forced to face and fight an immovable object.Not once was the situation so cast-iron rigid that I had no chance at all.Free minds and human hearts were at work all around me;and so there was the probability of improvement.I look at my children now,and know that I must still prepare them to meet obstacles and prejudices.

But I can tell them,too,that they will never face some of these prejudices because other people have gone before them.And to myself I can say that,because progress is unalterable,many of today's dogmas (教条)will have vanished by the time they grow into adults.I can say to my children: There is a chance for you.No guarantee,but a chance.And this chance has come to be,because there is nothing static with free people.There is no Middle Ages logic so strong that it can stop the human tide from flowing forward. I do not believe that every person,in every walk of life,can succeed in spite of any handicap.That would be perfection.But I do believe — and with every fiber in me — that what I was able to attain came to be because we put behind us (no matter how slowly) the dogmas of the past: to discover the truth of today;and perhaps find the greatness of tomorrow.

I believe in the human race.I believe in the warm heart.I believe in man's honesty.I believe in the goodness of a free society.And I believe that the society can remain good only as long as we are willing to fight for it — and to fight against whatever imperfections may exist.My fight was against the barriers that kept Negroes out of baseball.This was the area where I found imperfection,and where I was best able to fight.And I fought because I knew it was not doomed to be a losing fight.It couldn't be a losing fight-not when it took place in a free society.And in the largest sense,I believe that what I did was done for me — that it was my faith in God that sustained me in my fight.And that what was done for me must and will be done for others.

Frank Lloyd Wright is often called the father of American modern architecture.He designed buildings and homes across the United States for more than 70 years.He created most of his works from 1900 through the 1950s,but his open-living spaces and imaginative designs still appear very modern today.

Last week,the United States nominated(提名)10 of his buildings for the UN Educational,Scientific,and Cultural Organization—or UNESCO—the World Heritage List.The World Heritage List recognizes the most,important cultural and natural sites worldwide.

The 10 buildings,titled.“Key Works of Modern Architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright,”were built between 1906 and 1969.They include several of his personal homes and studios,churches,government buildings,private residences,and one very famous museum—New York City’s Guggenheim Museum.

The Solomon R.Guggenheim Museum is one of the most visited sites in New York City.About one million people visit it every year.Frank Lloyd Wright worked on it from 1943 to 1959.It was designed to create a new type of space for new types of art.The museum remains an international symbol of modern architecture that represents Wright’s unique design.

Many of Mr.Wright’s modern buildings and homes in the U.S.Midwest have also become symbols of modern American architecture.Richard Longstreth is the president of the Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy.He calls Mr.Wrisht“the father of modern architecture,fundamentally redefining the nature of form and space during the early 20th century that would have enduring impacts of modern architecture worldwide.”

The UNESCO World Heritage Committee will announce its decision in mid-2016.If Frank Lloyd Wright’s 10 buildings were chosen for the list,they would be the first World Heritage listings for modem U.S.architecture.The World Heritage List already includes 22 other American sites,including the Grand Canyon,Yellowstone National Park and the Statue of Liberty.
