provide lower educational resources through which many of our young black Americans 
may realize their potential. We have failed to provide adult-learning institutions 
effectively addressed to the backwash of racism and slavery."
3. "... Deep split in American life transcends black and while, rich and poor, educated 
and ignorant, slum and suburb.
Black America is the testing ground for our moral crisis. There is no more prevailing 
American tradition than having our black do the dirty, messy, difficult business of 
society. In those institutions where people can be hurt — in bad schools, in inferior and 
demeaning occupations, in wars — the black people have manned the front lines."
