That is a quote I found from Booker T. Washington. I think it is true. Do you agree and what does it mean to you?

I agree. It means that there is dignity in all work. And everything we do deserves our best effort.

I believe no race will prosper if there is no equality. Booker T. Washington was a conservative that believed African Americans should have gave up the fight for civil rights. So who cares what position you hold in society if you have no rights to protect you.

dignity is inside the individual, not bestowed by task or title. That the race should prosper is a result, not a cause.
GO within or go without --someone famous.
Seek ye first the kingdom ---someone more famous.

booker t Washington was trying to say that no matter what your race is you have all rights to work what you want to work and where you want to work but thought that the African Americans should have gave up on the fight for their civil rights and just took sides and asked for help from the white people

Booker was trying to tell his homeboys to stop raping and get to work. As you can see it did not turn out well.
