Washington is so worried lest others learn something of their cultural heritage has learned all he cares to about his people (and he is one of our people, no matter how much he tries to obliterate the fact), but will he at least give credence to those of us expressing a desire to learn more?

Most blacks who attended the better colleges and graduate schools received their early education at these high schools, and the majority of these people either returned with their skills to the community...
Sharply Critical. Even when the black schools remain open, their names, such as Booker T. Washington or George Washington Carver, are usually changed before white students are assigned to them. Black students, on the other hand, are expected to be happy to attend schools named for Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Strom Thurmond...
