“The opposition to Negro education in the South was at first bitter, and showed itself in ashes, insult, and blood; for the South believed an educated Negro to be a dangerous Negro.

Nevertheless, men strive to know.”

“The white people of the South are essentially a fine kindly breed, the same sort of human beings that one finds the world over.”
