Men we shall have only as we make manhood the object of the work of the schools--intelligence, broad sympathy, knowledge of the world that was and is, and of the relation of men to it--this is the curriculum of that Higher Education which must underlie true life. On this foundation we may build bread winning, skill of hand and quickness of brain, with never a fear lest the child and man mistake the means of living for the object of life.
--The Talented 10th
WEB DuBois 1903
Beale Street Love
By Langston Hughes
from Fine Clothes to the Jew
Love
Is a brown man's fist
With hard knuckles
Crushing the lips,
Blackening the eyes,--
Hit me again,
Says Clorinda.
