The Most Patient Race

To right his wrongs, the Russian appeals to
dynamite, Americans to rebellion, the Irish to
agitation, the Indian to his tomahawk; but the

Negro, the most patient, the most unresentful
and law-abiding, depends for the righting of
his wrongs upon 'his songs, his midnight
prayers, and his inherent faith in the justice of
his cause. Century Club (Indianapolis).
