UP FROM SLAVERY (Chapter 8) by Booker T. Washington
All these ideas and needs crowded themselves upon us with a seriousness that seemed well-nigh overwhelming...We had only the little old shanty and the abandoned church which the good coloured people of the town of Tuskegee had kindly loaned us for the accommodation of the classes. ... we saw that our efforts were reaching, to only a partial degree, the actual needs of the people whom we wanted to lift up through the medium of the students whom we should educate and send out as leaders.
