"We cannot hope, then, in this generation, or……" — W. E. B. Du Bois

"We cannot hope, then, in this generation, or for several generations, that the mass of the whites can be brought to assume that close sympathetic and self-sacrificing leadership of the blacks which their present situation so eloquently demands. Such leadership, such social teaching and example, must come from the blacks themselves."

— W. E. B. Du Bois
