Believe Quote by W. E. B. Du Bois

“In 1956, I shall not go to the polls. I have not registered. I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no 'two evils' exist. There is but one evil party with two names, and it will be elected despite all I can do or say.” quote by W. E. B. Du Bois — Download Open image
