Carter G. Woodson Quotes

«The educational system of a country is worthless unless it [revolutionizes the social order]. Men of scholarship, and prophetic insight, must show us the right way and lead us into light which is shining brighter and brighter.»
«If you can control a man?s thinking, you don?t have to worry about his actions. If you can determine what a man thinks you do not have worry about what he will do. If you can make a man believe that he is inferior, you don?t have to compel him to seek an inferior status, he will do so without being told and if you can make a man believe that he is justly an outcast, you don?t have to order him to the back door, he will go to the back door on his own and if there is no back door, the very nature of the man will demand that you build one.»
«In the long run, there is not much discrimination against superior talent.»
«We need workers, not leaders. Such workers will solve the problems which race leaders talk about.»
