"My experience is that people who call themselves "The Intellectuals" understand theories, but they do not understand things. I have long been convinced that, if these men could have gone into the South and taken up and become interested in some practical work which would have brought them in touch with people and things, the whole world would have looked very different to them. Bad as conditions might have seemed at first, when they saw that actual progress was being made, they would have taken a more hopeful view of the situation."

--Booker T. Washington, from My Larger Education, Being Chapters from My Experience (1911), Chapter 5 "The Intellectuals and the Boston Mob"
