"Is it possible...that nine million of men canmake effective progress in economic lines if they are deprived of pollitical rights?...Ifhistory and reason give any distinct answer to these questions, it is an emphatic NO."

Booker T. and W.E.B. by Dudley Randall
"It seems to me, said Booker T.,"It shows a lot of mighty cheekTo study chemistry and GreekWhen Mister Charlie needs a handTo hoe the cotton on his land,And when Miss Ann looks for a cook,Why stick your nose inside a book?"
"I don't agree," said W.E.B.,"If I should have the drive to seekKnowledge of chemistry or Greek,I'll do it. Charles and Miss can lookAnother place for hand or cook.Some men rejoice in skill of handAnd some in cultivating land,But there are others who maintainThe right to cultivate the brain"
Read the poem and discuss the similarities and differences.
