In order to better conditions in the South and to diminish racial feeling, the leaders of the blacks must gain self-control and must not become embittered, for such men lose a large percentage of their power to accomplish good. It is not by racial hatred that the great problem which confronts us today is to be solved, it is by co-operation between the two races...
