What Will Pay? (Unabridged)
Tietoa kirjasta
Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite. Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
WHAT WILL PAY: I wish to talk with you for a few minutes upon a subject that is much discussed, especially by young people-What things pay in life? There is no question, perhaps, which is asked oftener by a person entering upon a career than this-What will pay? Will this course of action, or that, pay?
