The-Mis-education-Of-The-Negro (chapter 9) by Dr. Carter G. Woodson
Having the stamp of science, the thought of these polemics was accepted in all seats of learning. These rewriters of history fearlessly contended that slavery was a benevolent institution: the masters loved their slaves and treated them humanely; the abolitionists meddled with the institution which the masters would have eventually modified: the Civil War brought about by "fanatics" like William Lloyd Garrison and John Brown was unnecessary; ..."

THE MIS-EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO (Chapter 17) by Dr. Carter G. Woodson
To say that the Negro cannot develop ... in the business world to managers with present-day capitalists is to deny actual facts, refute history, and discredit the Negro as a ... competitor in the economic battle of life. No man knows what he can do until he tries. The Negro race has never tried to do very much for itself. The race has great possibilities. Properly awakened, the Negro can do the so-called impossible in the business world and thus help to govern rather than merely be governed.

Negroes, too, should undergo systematic training for those professions in which they have shown special aptitude as in the arts.

Woodson
THE MIS-EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO (Chapter 13) by Dr. Carter G. Woodson
A Negro with sufficient thought to construct a program ... is undesirable, and the educational systems ... generally refuse to work through 'them' in promoting their cause. The program for the uplift of the Negroes ... must be handed over to an executive force , and they must carry it out .... Although the Negro is being ... forced ... by segregation into a world peculiarly his own, his ... perplexing status is given little or no thought, and he is not considered capable of thinking for himself.
