Booker T. Washington: “I do not believe he ever had a selfish thought.”

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

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

I never saw a man who so completely lost sight of himself.
