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

The present system under the control of the whites trains the Negro to be white and at the same time convinces him of the impropriety or the impossibility of his becoming white... the Negros will have no outlet but to go down a blind alley, if the sort of education which they are now receiving is to enable them to find the way out of their present difficulties.

When you control a man's thinking you do not have to worry about his actions.

It may be well to repeat here the saying that old men talk of what they have done, young men of what they are doing, and fools of what they expect to do. The Negro race has a rather large share of the last mentioned class.

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

If the white man wants to hold on to it, let him do so; but the Negro, so far as he is able, should develop and carry out a program of his own.

What we need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the world void of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice.
