Booker T. Washington: “In plain words, then, the problem we must work out here is not:--Can you master algebra, or literature?”

Even to this day I can recall accurately the tortures that I underwent when putting on one of these garments.

I repeat my belief that the world is growing in the direction of giving.

From any point of view, I had rather be what I am, a member of the Negro race, than be able to claim membership with the most favoured of any other race.

I do not know how many have noticed it, but I think that it will be found to be true that there are few instances, either in slavery or freedom, in which a member of my race has been known to betray a specific trust.
