Drawn from what Booker T. Washington said
What Booker T. Washington actually said
- Booker T. Washington American educator, author and orator (1856 to 1915)
The wisest among my race understand that the agitation of questions of social equality is the extremest folly, and that progress in the enjoyment of all the privileges that will come to us must be the result of severe and constant struggle rather than of artificial forcing.
