Washington and His Critics" (1904)
"Industrial education for the Negro is Booker T. Washington's hobby....
"That one of the most noted of their own race should join with the enemies to their highest pro-
gress in condemning the education they had received, has been to... [college educated Negroes]
a bitter pill....
"No human agency can tell how many black diamonds lie buried in the black belt of the South, and
the opportunities for discovering them become rarer every day as the schools for thorough training
become more cramped and no more are being established.
"Does this mean that the Negro objects to industrial education? By no means. It simply means that
he knows by sad experience that industrial education will not stand him in place of political, civil
and intellectual liberty, and he objects to being deprived of fundamental rights of American citizen-
ship to the end that one school for industrial training shall flourish. To him it seems like selling a
race's birthright for a mess of pottage."](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F2d3d0313-ca74-43cf-98c7-55eac5c05caf%2F3b268bd6-9c20-4957-ae38-0534ae55b558%2F1hxafn_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
