Carter Woodson Quotations

Only by careful study of the Negro himself and the life which he is forced to lead can we arrive at the proper procedure in this crisis.

Practically all of the successful Negroes in this country are of the uneducated type or of that of Negroes who have had no formal education at all.

If you can control a mans thinking, you dont have to worry about his actions. If you can determine what a man thinks you do not have worry about what he will do. If you can make a man believe that he is inferior, you dont have to compel him to seek an inferior status, he will do so without being told and if you can make a man believe that he is justly an outcast, you dont have to order him to the back door, he will go to the back door on his own and if there is no back door, the very nature of the man will demand that you build one.

If the whites are to continue for some time in doing drudgery to the exclusion of, Negroes, the latter must find another way out.
