Booker T. Washington: “I am made to feel just as happy now when I am rendering service to Southern white men as when the service is rendered to…”

This tenderness and sympathy on the part of those held in bondage was a result of their kindly and generous nature.

Before the end of the year, I think I began learning that those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.

He was simply another unfortunate victim of the institution which the Nation unhappily had engrafted upon it at that time.

I think I never saw a community of people so happy over anything as were the coloured people over the prospect of this new building.
