Reread paragraph 11 of the “Address to the Niagara
Movement."
Black Americans have the right to equitable and advanced
educational opportunities.
Highlight the detail from the paragraph that best supports this
conclusion.
And when we call for education we mean real education.
We believe in work. We ourselves are workers, but work is
not necessarily education. Education is the development of
power and ideal. We want our children trained as intelligent
human beings should be, and we will fight for all time
against any proposal to educate black boys and girls simply
as servants and underlings, or simply for the use of other
people. They have a right to know, to think, to aspire.
