Booker T. Washington: “This lesson I have tried to carry with me ever since.”

This problem Harvard University is solving, not by bringing itself down, but by bringing the masses up.

This country demands that every race shall measure itself by the American standard.

Despite superficial and temporary signs which might lead one to entertain a contrary opinion, there was never a time when I felt more hopeful for the race than I do at the present.
