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.

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

History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.

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.

In the long run, there is not much discrimination against superior talent.

The large majority of the Negroes who have put on the finishing touches of our best colleges are all but worthless in the development of their people.

Even schools for Negroes, then, are places where they must be convinced of their inferiority.
