Booker T. Washington: “In this way pleasant relations between the races have been stimulated.”

I knew that if we failed it would injure the whole race.

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.

The Negro boy has obstacles, discouragements, and temptations to battle with that are little known to those not situated as he is.

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