... And In Thinking Of My Life,

There Is No Negro Problem. The Problem Is Whether The American People Have Loyalty Enough, Honor Enough, Patriotism Enough, To Live Up To Their Own Constitution

We Are Americans, Speaking The Same Language, Adopting The Same Customs, Holding The Same General Opinions... And Shall Rise And Fall With Americans.

Allow Us The Dignity To Fight For Our Own Freedom

A Great Man, Tender Of Heart, Strong Of Nerve, Boundless Patience And Broadest Sympathy, With No Motive Apart From His Country.

Despite Of It All, The Negro Remains... Cool, Strong, Imperturbable, And Cheerful.
