It is only by presenting those portions of the race in my pictures, in the light and backround of their true state, that we can raise our people to greater heights.

We want to see our lives dramatized on the screen as we are living it, the same as other people, the world over.

Moving pictures have become one of the greatest revitalizing forces in race adjustment.

Your self image is so powerful it unwittingly becomes your destiny.

What I like best is a good story with a moral.

Every race man and woman should cast aside their skepticism regarding the Negro's ability as a motion picture star.

Honest, intelligent criticism is an aid to the progress of an effort.
