  1. W.E.B. Du Bois _ The Souls of Black Folk by

  2. W.E.B. Du Bois _ The Souls of Black Folk by

    What if the Negro people be wooed from a strife for righteousness, from a love of knowing, to regard dollars as the be-all and end-all of life?

    For every social ill the panacea of Wealth has been urged,-wealth to overthrow the remains of the slave feudalism; wealth to raise the "cracker" Third Estate; wealth to employ the black serfs, and the prospect of wealth to keep them working; wealth as the end and aim of politics, and as the legal tender for law and order; and, finally, instead of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness, wealth as the ideal of the Public School.
