To Stimulate Wildly Weak And Untrained Minds

As Negro Voting Increased, Congress Got An Improved Sense Of Hearing.

One Is Astonished In The Study Of History At The Recurrence Of The Idea That Evil Must Be Forgotten, Distorted, Skimmed Over. We Must Not Remember That Daniel Webster Got Drunk But Only That He Was A Splendid Constitutional Lawyer. We Must Forget That George Washington Was A Slave Owner . . . And Simply Remember The Things We Regard As Creditable And Inspiring. The Difficulty, Of Course, With This Philosophy Is That History Loses Its Value As An Incentive And Example; It Paints Perfect Man And Noble Nations, But It Does Not Tell The Truth.

I Refused To Teach Sunday School. When Archdeacon Henry Phillips, My Last Rector, Died, I Flatly Refused Again To Join Any Church Or Sign Any Church Creed. From My 30th Year On I Have Increasingly Regarded The Church As An Institution Which Defended Such Evils As Slavery, Color Caste, Exploitation Of Labor And War.

Mr. Washington Apologizes For Injustice, He Belittles The Emasculating Effects Of Caste Distinctions, And Opposes The Higher Training And Ambitions Of Our Brighter Minds. The Way For People To Gain Their Reasonable Rights Is Not By Voluntarily Throwing Them Away.

Half The Christian Churches Of New York Are Trying To Ruin The Free Public Schools In Order To Replace Them By Religious Dogma.
