The Negro's Mission
I think a part of his [the Negro's] mission
is going to be to teach white men a lesson of
patience, forbearance, and forgiveness. I think
he is going to show the people of this country
what it is possible for a race to achieve when
starting under adverse conditions. Again, I
2
supreme trust in God and loyalty to his country,
even when his country has not been at all times
loyal to him. I think my people will excel in
the missionary spirit. It will take the form of
reaching down after the less fortunate both at
home and abroad. Our Day.
