问题 32 得 2 分，满分 2 分
On May 29, 1973, Thomas Bradley, a black man, was elected mayor of Los Angeles. Los Angeles is the third largest city in the United States, with a population of three million. About sixteen percent of the city’s population are black.
News of this election appeared on the front pages of newspaper everywhere in the United Stated. Here is how one major newspaper reported the event: Los Angeles Elects Bradley Mayor, Defeating Yorty -- Black Win 56% of Votes.
Bradley called his victory “the fulfillment of a dream.” Dur

ing his childhood and youth, people had kept telling him, “You can’t do this, you can’t go there, because you’re a Negro.” Nevertheless he had won a decisive victory over a man who had been the city’s mayor for three times, Bradley had won 56.3 percent of the votes; Yorty had won 43.7 percent.
Los Angeles votes had many opportunities to judge Thomas Bradley and to form an opinion of him. The son of a poor farmer from Texas, he joined the Los Angeles police force in 1940. During his twenty-one years on the police force he earned a law degree by attending school at night. He was elected to the city council ten years ago. At the time of Los Angeles election three other American cities already had black mayors, but none of those cities had as large as a population as Los Angeles. Besides, the percentage of blacks in those other cities was much larger. Cleveland , Ohio, was thirty-six percent black when Carl Stokes was elected mayor of Cleveland in 1967. In
The same year Richard Hatcher was elected mayor of Gary, Indiana, which was fifty-five percent black. In Newark, New Jersey, sixty percent of the population were black when Kenneth Glibson was elected in 1970. Thus the election of a black mayor in those cities was not very surprising.
In Los Angeles thousands of white citizens voted for Thomas Bradley because they believe he would be a better mayor than the white candidate. Bradley had spent forty-eight of his fifty-five years in Los Angeles. Four years ago Bradley lost the mayoral election to Yorty. This time Bradley won.
