"Don't follow it blindly into every dark alley. Always remember that you are not a model or a mannequin for which the fashion is created."

The present system under the control of the whites trains the Negro to be white and at the same time convinces him of the impropriety or the impossibility of his becoming white... the Negros will have no outlet but to go down a blind alley, if the sort of education which they are now receiving is to enable them to find the way out of their present difficulties.
