W. E. B. DUBOIS ON THE POWER ELITE

BLACK HISTORY MONTH

"It is the growing custom to narrow control,
concentrate power, disregard and disfranchise the public;
and assuming that certain powers by divine right
of money-raising or by sheer assumption,
have the power to do as they think best
without consulting the wisdom of mankind."

-- W. E. B. Du Bois
(1868-1963) Professor, Civil Rights Activist, NAACP Founding Member
