22. Kelly Miller, “The Negro and Education,” The Forum (February 1901): 693-705.


Essay urging patience as far as tangible results from the education of African Americans is concerned. “Education has a larger function for a backward than a forward race; and, therefore, it requires more of it for the former to accomplish a given result. To the one it merely furnishes a key to an existing lock, while to the other it must supply both lock and key.” (The Stone Collection at the Mississippi Department of Archives and History in Jackson has another copy of this article in volume 79 [no. 68].)
