WHAT ???
He didnt mention Booker T Washington or Fredrick Douglass ??? (Silly Nana That Booker T made those poor students WORK and make bricks and build their own classrooms)
George Washington Carver and his 300 uses for the common peanut ??? (Silly Nana he would have to admit that Carver said God inspired him in prayer out in the woods)
Harriet Tubman of the Underground Railroad ???
I was thinking of the same HEROS of the Black culture, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver, Harriet Tubman. All of them had true strength. The blacks of America would have done better to set their compass and sights on the goals that these had rather than on DeBois, who abandoned America and died a Communist in Ghana.
Some great quotes from Booker T. Washington:
No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts.
Booker T. Washington
