do has been TO bring the white peo-
pie in the Southern States and
throughout the country into what
seems TO me a proper and practical
attitude toward the Negro in his eff
forts 70 go forward and make prog
ress. am seeking to do this not
only in the interest of my race, out
also in the interest of the white race.
There are in the Southern
States nine million Negroes. There
are three million Negro children Of
school age. Fifty-three per cent, or
more than half never go to school.
Many of these Negro children
particularly in the country districts,
rae in school only from three TO four
months of the year. ! am trying to
get the white people to see that, both
from an economic point of view and
as matter of justice and fair play
these conditions must be changed |
am trying to get the white people to
see that sending ignorant Negroes TO
lalls and penitentiaries putting them
in the chain gang, hanging and lynch
ing them does not civiliZe. but on
the contrary, though it brutalizes the
Negro, it at the same time blunts
and dull the conscience of the white
man.
Il want the white people to see
that it is unfair to expect a blac!;
man who goes to school only three
months i'm the year to produce as
much on the farm as a white man who
has been i'm school eight or nine
months in the year. that it is unjust
to let the Negro remain ignorant.
with nothing between him and the
temptation to fill his body with whis.
Key and cocaine and then to expect
him in his ignorance, to be able to
know the law and be able to exer.
else that degree of self-control which
shall enable him to keep 1t.
Still another thing that ] am try
ing to get the people of the whole
country to realize is that the educa-
I ton of the Negro should be consid-
cred not as a matter of charity, but
as matter of business. that, like
any other business, should be thor
oughly studied, organized and sys
tematized The money that has al
/ ready been spent by states, institu
tons and individuals would have
done vastly more good if there had
been, years ago, more thorough or
ganization and cooperation between
the different isolated and detached
members of the Negro school system
in the Southern States.
81 am trying to get the white people
to realize that since no color line is
drawn in the punishment for crime
no color line should be drawn in the
preparation for life, in the kind n
education, in other words, that make,
for useful, clean living. am tryins
to get the white people to see thai
in hundreds Of counties in the Soutl
it Is costing more to punish coloret
people for crime than it would cos
to educate them. I am trying tt
get all to see that ignorance. poverty
and weakness invite and encourag,
the stronger race to act uniustly to
ward the weak, and that so long al
this condition remains. the youn,
white men of the South will have
fearful handicap in the battle of life
