They found the rumor of slavery was based on a single marketing pamphlet by Bartholdi, which they deemed to be false, but they did find that it is most likely true that Lady Liberty was modeled from the body of an African woman. Bartholdi had studied African women for a prior commission on an Egyptian statue, but when that project was scrapped, the studies became the foundation for the green Lady.
调查的结果是:他们发现这个关于奴隶制的传言来自于巴托尔迪的一本营销小册子,且认定其为伪造。但调查同时也发现,自由女神模特是一位非洲裔女性。巴托尔迪曾受托研究过埃及神像中的非洲女性,但该计划后被终止,于是他的研究成就了今日的自由女神。
Myth 10: Jackie Robinson
谣言10:关于Jackie Robinson
Not to diminish Jackie Robinson or Rosa Parks, but just as Parks wasnt the first black person to refuse to move her seat, Robinson didnt break the baseball color code. In fact, blacks and whites briefly played professional baseball together in 1878 and 1879. In 1916, Jimmy Claxton, passing as a Native American, played a week until his black roots were found out, ending his contract forthwith.
并不是要贬低Jackie Robinson或Rosa Parks的重要性,但正如Parks女士并不是第一个拒绝给白人让座的黑人一样,Robinson也不是打破美国棒球界白人垄断局面的第一人。事实上,早在1878-1879年,美国职业棒球赛上就已经有白人和黑人共同上场的记录了。1916年,Jimmy Claxton以美洲印第安人的身份上场比赛了一周,直到后来他的黑人血统被挖掘出来,才被终止了合同。
