"Speech during the Atlanta Exposition"

He stated that professional technical education, which gave blacks the opportunity to achieve economic security, was worth more than social equality or political office. Many African-Americans feared that such a modest goal would condemn them indefinitely to be subject to whites; that fear led to the Niagara Movement and later to the founding of the NAACP.
