Booker T Washington
“ Nothing ever comes to one, that is worth
having, except as a result of hard work”
WEB Dubois on Booker T
Washington
Mr. Washington represents in Negro thought the
old attitude of adjustment and submission; but
adjustment at such a peculiar time as to make
his program unique. This is an age of unusual
economic development, and Mr. Washington’s
program naturally takes an economic cast,
becoming a gospel of Work and Money to such
an extent as apparently almost completely to
overshadow the higher aims of life.
