In our so-called democracy we are accustomed to give the majority what they want rather than educate them to understand what is best for them.

The strongest bank in the United States will last only so long as the people will have sufficient confidence in it to keep their money there.

This crusade is much more important than the anti- lynching movement, because there would be no lynching if it did not start in the schoolroom.

As another has well said, to handicap a student by teaching him that his black face is a curse and that his struggle to change his condition is hopeless is the worst sort of lynching.

The mere imparting of information is not education.

We do not show the Negro how to overcome segregation, but we teach him how to accept it as final and just.

This assumption of Negro leadership in the ghetto, then, must not be confined to matters of religion, education, and social uplift; it must deal with such fundamental forces in life as make these things possible.
