Read the excerpt from Up from Slavery by Booker T. WashingtonI do not believe that any state should make a law that permits an ignorant and poverty-stricken white man to vote, and prevents a black man in the same condition from voting. Such a law is not only unjust, but it will react, as all unjust laws do, in time; for the effect of such a law is to encourage the [Black man] to secure education and property, and at the same time it encourages the white man to remain in ignorance and poverty.
