If the Negro or white colleges are going to depend on the gifts of the
rich for support they cannot teach the truth...
       I appeal to the members of this organization, first to teach the truth
as they see it even if they lose their jobs. To study socialism and communism
and the philosophy of Karl Marx and his successors. To travel in the Soviet
Union and China and then to dare take a stand as they honestly believe
whether for or against communism. To refuse to listen to American propaganda
without also listening to the propaganda of communism and to give up teaching
and go to digging ditches before bowing to the new American slavery of
thought.
Taken from the book, The Education of Black People pgs.157-8
