Abstract
AS a Los Angeles city councilman from 1949 to 1962, Edward R. Roybal built a multiracial coalition reflecting the racial interaction in multicultural neighborhoods and the geographic concentration of liberal-left politics in them. He served his constituents across ethnic lines and pursued city-wide issues of principle. This kind of coalition was replaced in the 1960s and 1970s with a coalition dedicated to the lesser goal of simple racial representation. Roybal serves as an inspiring role model—a Mexican American leader who rejected racialized politics to lead a multiracial coalition of progressives fighting for social justice for all.
在1949年至1962年担任洛杉矶市议员期间,爱德华·r·罗伊巴尔(Edward R. Roybal)建立了一个多种族联盟,反映了多元文化社区中的种族互动,以及自由左翼政治在这些社区的地理集中。他为不同种族的选民服务,追求全市范围的原则问题。这种联盟在20世纪60年代和70年代被一个致力于简单种族代表这一次要目标的联盟所取代。罗伊巴尔是一位鼓舞人心的榜样,他是一位墨西哥裔美国领导人,他拒绝种族化的政治,领导一个多种族的进步联盟,为所有人争取社会正义。
