When you control a man's thinking, you do not have to worry about his actions. He will find his "proper place" and will in it. You do not need to send him to the back door. He will go without being told. In fact, if there is no back door, he will protest until one is made for use. His education demans it's."
Dr. Carter G. Woodson
Father of Black History
