Booker T. Washington: “In a few hours the great questions with which the Anglo-Saxon race had been grappling for centuries had been thrown upon…”

In this connection I have never been able to understand how the slaves throughout the South, completely ignorant as were the masses so far as books or newspapers were concerned, were able to keep themselves so accurately and completely…

I have great faith in the power and influence of facts.

I pity from the bottom of my heart any nation or body of people that is so unfortunate as to get entangled in the net of slavery.

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