Jason Stanley Quote
American philosopher W.E.B. Du Bois repeatedly emphasizes that the nation owes its Black citizens three things: the free right to vote, [the right] to enjoy civic rights, and [the right] to be educated.11 Du Bois demands that [n]egroes must insist continually, in season and out of season, that voting is necessary to modern manhood … and that black boys need education as well as white boys. Du Bois focuses on these three rights—voting rights, civic equality, and education—because he thinks of political participation as special among the liberties; education is important because only the educated citizen can participate well in civic life.
