McCarthy akakumbira mutori wenhau Mo Rocca kuti atore quiz.

McCarthy akatsanangura, “Kwete. Emily Balch aive muhwina weNobel Peace Prize akavamba Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.”
Uyewo Rocca haana kukwanisa kuziva Jody Williams (muhwina weNobel webasa rake nezvimbambaira), kana Jeannette Rankin (mukadzi wekutanga akasarudzwa kuCongress, uye nhengo yega yekuvhota ichipokana nekubatanidzwa kweAmerica muhondo dzese dzepasirese).
"Mo, usanzwe zvakaipa," McCarthy akadaro. “Inogara iri mari yakachengetedzeka. Ndinogona kugara ndichivimba nedzidzo yeAmerica! "
Kwemakore makumi matatu nemasere Colman McCarthy anga achiedza kupa zana iroro remadhora kune vanopfuura zviuru makumi matatu vevadzidzi vezvikoro zvepamusoro nevekoreji munharaunda yeWashington DC vakaita kosi yavo yezvidzidzo zverunyararo.

Rwendo rwaMcCarthy pachake rwakatanga makore makumi masere nemaviri apfuura paakazvarwa kumhuri yeIrish yakatamira kuNew York's Long Island. Akaenda kuSpring Hill College muAlabama, kwaakatevera chido chake chekutanga: "Ndakaenda ikoko nokuda kwezvikonzero 82, Mo. Yakanga ine gorofu pamusasa."

Rocca akabvunza, "Sei usina kuita muprista?"
"Handina kufarira kuravira kwewaini," McCarthy akaseka.
Zvakazoitika kuti kudanwa kwake kwaive kutori venhau. Muna 1969 akatanga kunyorera Washington Post, kwaakabvunzurudza uye akashamwaridzana nevazhinji vevamiriri verunyararo ve20th century.
Akaudza vateereri kuti, “Ndinowana tsamba dzakati wandei kubva vhiki rega rega kubva kuvaverengi munyika yose, vachinditi ndiri benzi, benzi, ndisingazivi chinhu ... uyezve ndinoverenga tsamba dzangu dzisina kunaka.”
Asi usarega kuseka kwake kuchikunyengera. McCarthy haasi chinhu chakashata mukupikisa kwake mhirizhonga yaanoona kumativi ose.
Haatendi kuti tinofanira kuva nemauto akamira. Rocca akabvunza, "Unofunga kuti tinofanirwa kuve nechengetedzo yemuganho?"
“Handidaviri miganhu,” akadaro. "Miganhu inogadzirwa zvisirizvo, kunyanya nemauto."
Haashandisi rwiyo rwenyika. "Handina kumbobvira ndamirira 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' nokuti irwo rwiyo rwehondo. Inyaya yekubhomba vanhu, ndeye maroketi, ihondo isina basa.
Anopokana nezvose mutongo werufu nekubvisa pamuviri. “Asi handishore munhu akabvisa pamuviri. Handidi kuti hurumende ibatanidzwe. Asi ndinofunga kuti tinofanira kudzidzisa munhu wose kuti kune dzimwe nzira dzokupedza nadzo pamuviri pasingadiwi.”
Kana iwe uchifunga kuti unoziva mavhoti aMcCarthy, zvakanaka, haana kumbovhota. Kuzvipira kwake mukusaita mhirizhonga kunodarika vanhu, ndosaka asina kudya nyama kwemakumi emakore.
Rocca akabvunza, "Pane chimwe chinhu chawakapfeka kubva kumhuka?"
“Kwete, shangu dzangu hadzisi dehwe. Asi edza zvakanaka! "
Haana motokari; panzvimbo pacho anochovha bhasikoro kuenda kubasa. “Ini ndine karima kwandiri, Mo, nezvebhasikoro rangu, ndinorida kana paine jambwa. Hezvo izvo, vachingosvibisa mhepo. Uye ndinofefetera mberi. Uye kwemasekonzi mashomanana ndinonzwa ndiri nani mutsika!”
Anounza vatauri vangangosvika makumi maviri semesita kukirasi yake paBethesda-Chevy Chase High School muMaryland, kwaanodzidzisa achizvipira. Ndizvozvo: McCarthy haabhadharwe kudzidzisa pano. Vatauri vaenzi vakasanganisira vakahwina mubairo weNobel Mairead Corrigan, Muhammad Yunus, naAdolfo Pérez Esquivel.

Gabrielle Meisel, Kyle Ramos naCaroline Villacis vese vaive vadzidzi apo Rocca akapinda mukirasi yaMcCarthy denda risati rasvika. Akabvunza kuti, “Upenyu hwako huchasiyana sei pashure pokunge wabva pano nokuda kwokutora kosi iyi?”
"Pakutanga ndanga ndichifunga kuti pamwe ndinopinda mundima yekugadzira," akadaro Villacis. “Asi iye zvino ndiri kutsvaga chimwe chinhu, ndinofungidzira, chinoshanda, pandiri kunyatsobatsira vanhu. Saka, ndiri kufunga kuva social worker.”
Ramos akati, "Kwandiri, ingori pfungwa yekuisa mutoro wandinoda, sekubatsira vamwe vanhu uye kungobatsira nyika yedu yatiri mairi."
McCarthy zvakare "inongoburitsa zvakanakisa muvanhu," akadaro Meisel. “Anoona simba riri matiri. Uye anova nechokwadi chekuti mudzidzi wese anoziva kukosha kwavo, zvinova zvinoshamisa. ”
Kirasi yaMcCarthy haina bvunzo uye haina mamakisi. "Anofunga nezvemhirizhonga yezvidzidzo," akadaro Villacis.
Rocca akabvunza, "Unobvuma here?"
“Ndinobvuma!” akaseka hake.
Rocca akabvunza McCarthy, "Dzidzo yerunyararo, ndiko kudanwa kwako muhupenyu?"
“Zvakanaka, kudanwa kwangu muupenyu ndekwekuva murume akanaka uye baba vane rudo uye murume ane rudo. Ndinofunga kuti zvinouya pekutanga."
Ave akaroora mudzimai wake, Mav, kwemakore makumi mashanu nemana. Vaviri ava vane vanakomana vatatu.
"Ndicho chimwe chezvakavanzika zvakasviba nezvesangano rerunyararo - vazhinji vevagadziri verunyararo vaive vanhu vane nhamo kumba," McCarthy akadaro. “Vaiva nehutsinye nenzira dzatisingawanzonzwa nezvadzo. Gandhi akanga ari murume nababa vakashata, murume anodzvinyirira zvikuru.”
"Rugare runotanga kumba?" akabvunza Rocca.
"Hongu, chaizvo."
Nepo kirasi yaColman McCarthy isina bvunzo kana kuti mamakisi, iye anoendesa vadzidzi vake kumusha nebasa rimwe rinokosha: “Kirasi iri yose, ndinoti, ‘Basa renyu rinoitirwa kumba nderokuudza mumwe munhu kuti unomuda nhasi. Uye kana iwe usingakwanise kuwana mumwe munhu wekuudza 'em kuti unovada, tarisa zvakanyanya. Uye kana uchiri kutadza kuwana 'em, ndifonere. Ndinoziva pane vanhu vese vasingadiwe. Vari kwose kwose.’”
