At Best, The Natural Good-nature Is Edged

Education Must Not Simply Teach Work-it Must Teach Life.

It Is The Trained, Living Human Soul, Cultivated And Strengthened By Long Study And Thought, That Breathes The Real Breath Of Life Into Boys And Girls And Makes Them Human, Whether They Be Black Or White, Greek, Russian Or American.

Here Is The Chance For Young Women And Young Men Of Devotion To Lift Again The Banner Of Humanity And To Walk Toward A Civilization Which Will Be Free And Intelligent; Which Will Be Healthy And Unafraid; And Build In The World A Culture Led By Black Folk And Joined By Peoples Of All Colors And All Races - Without Poverty, Ignorance And Disease!

One Ever Feels His Twoness - An American, A Negro; Two Souls, Two Thoughts, Two Unreconciled Strivings; Two Warring Ideals In One Dark Body, Whose Dogged Strength Alone Keeps It From Being Torn Asunder.

The Problem Of The Twentieth Century Is The Problem Of The Color Line.
