Danny's Own Story

CHAPTER XV
10/33

"Why is it that the Afro-American brother buys Anti-Curl ?" he asts.
"Why ?" I asts.
"Because," he says, "he wants to be as much like a white man as he possibly can.

They talk about progress and education for the Afro-American brother, and uplift and advancement and industrial education and manual training and all that sort of thing.

Education, to his mind, is learning to talk like a white man.
