No man knows what he can do until he tries.

If you can control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his action. When you determine what a man shall think you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. If you make a man feel that he is inferior, you do not have to compel him to accept an inferior status, for he will seek it himself. If you make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to the back door. He will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one.

And thus goes segregation which is the most far-reaching development in the history of the Negro since the enslavement of the race.

In fact, the confidence of the people is worth more than money.

At this moment, then, the Negroes must begin to do the very thing which they have been taught that they cannot do.

You must give your own story to the world.

No man knows what he can do until he tries.
