Description

因為疫情的原因，學妹學弟們，這幾個月全回家了，進行線上學習。而今天的畢業典禮更是線上舉辦。
今天很榮幸受邀當 2020畢業典禮的唯一表演嘉賓。
為了鼓勵和恭喜學妹學弟們，我站上了山頂，高唱了校歌《群山》。這首歌是1859 年畢業的 Washington Gladden 的學生創作。最有意義的是，當時美國還沒廢除奴隸制，但他已經非常反對種族歧視，認為無論什麼膚色人人都應該平等。
Because of the pandemic, this semester at Williams College was completed online, as was today’s graduation ceremony. It was a great honor to be a today’s graduation guest; and to congratulate the class of 2020, I climbed to the top of Fuzhou mountain in Taipei to sing our alma mater song 「The Mountains」, written by Washington Gladden, class of 1859. As an alum, a noteworthy fact to be proud of, Gladden was strongly opposed to slavery, and was an outspoken critic of racism. A man way ahead of his time, he continues to stand on the right side of history.
