W.E.B. Du Bois Quotes

Among This People There Is No Leisure Class. We Often Forget That In The United States Over Half The Youth And Adults Are Not In The World Earning Incomes, But Are Making Homes, Learning Of The World, Or Resting After The Heat Of The Strife. But Here Ninety-six Per Cent Are Toiling; No One With Leisure To Turn The Bare And Cheerless Cabin Into A Home, No Old Folks To Sit Beside The Fire And Hand Down Traditions Of The Past; Little Of Careless Happy Childhood And Dreaming Youth.
