W.E.B. Du Bois, Cover Art for The Crisis Magazine, 1911
Men we shall have only as we make manhood the object of the work of the schools — intelligence, broad sympathy, knowledge of the world that was and is, and of the relation of men to it — this is the curriculum of that Higher Education which must underlie true life. On this foundation we may build bread winning, skill of hand and quickness of brain, with never a fear lest the child and man mistake the means of living for the object of life.
W. E. B. Du Bois, "The Talented Tenth" in Opposition to Booker T. Washington's 1895 Atlanta Compromise, 1903
