Washingtons Atlanta Compromise?

"leading the way backward.Mr. Washington preaches
thrift, patience, and industrial training for the
masses, we must hold up his hands and strive with
him...But so far as Mr. Washington apologizes for
injustice, North or South, does not rightly value
the privilege and duty of voting, belittles the
emasculating effects of caste distinction and
opposes the higher training and ambition of our
brighter minds -- so far as he, the South, or the
Nation, does this -- we must unceasingly and
firmly oppose them."
