RACIAL CALUMNY IS NOT CONFINED TO WHITES AGAINST BLACKS. IN FACT, AS NEARLY AS OFTEN, BLACKS ARE SLANDERED AND LIBELED BY OTHER BLACKS. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S PROPHETIC 1895 ADDRESS LATER BECAME "POPULARLY" KNOWN AS THE "ATLANTA COMPROMISE" BY REASON OF ITS LATER VILIFICATION BY DR. W.E.B. DUBOIS. DR. DUBOIS, HAD FIRST SUPPORTED WASHINGTON'S SPEECH, IN HIS 1897 ESSAY, "CONSERVATION OF RACES," BUT, LATER DUBOIS AN OTHERS, RELENTLESSLY LAMPOONED IT, IN HIS OWN "SOULS OF BLACK FOLKS." THIS SCURRILOUS SLANDER OF THIS GREAT MESSAGE HAS HELD FAST. TODAY, AS A CONSEQUENCE OF A LARGELY NON-READING (OR FICTION-ONLY READING) POPULATION OF BLACKS, MUCH PERTINENT WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE OF WASHINGTON IS LOST, AND NOW MUST BE RE-FOUND.
