The work which Professor Holtzclaw is doing in the Black Belt of Mississippi is of incalculable value.
“I sometimes think we’re growing up
To be a wondrous people,
But yet, I fear, in building we’re
Commencing with the steeple.
Without a basis broad and deep,
With virtue its foundation,
And truth and bright as corner-stones,
We can not build a nation.”
—Daniel Webster Davis.
