Booker T. Washington: “The making of these bricks taught me an important lesson in regard to the relations of the two races in the South.”

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.

We try to keep constantly in mind the fact that the worth of the school is to be judged by its graduates.

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

By it a race must rise or fall, succeed or fail, and in the last analysis mere sentiment counts for little.
