Recently read “Up From Slavery” by Booker T. Washington. Great book, short read, every American should read it.

He had some great things to say about Union strikes, but this one seemed appropriate in the context of 0bama....

“Among a large class (in Washington D.C.) there seemed to be a dependence upon the Government for every conceivable thing. The members of this class had little ambition to create a position for themselves, but wanted the Federal officials to create one for them.” Booker T. Washington
