What Booker T. Washington actually said
- Booker T. Washington American educator, author and orator (1856 to 1915)
As to my own position, I do not favour the Negro's giving up anything which is fundamental and which has been guaranteed to him by the Constitution of the United States. It is not best for him to relinquish any of his rights; nor would his doing so be best for the Southern white man.
