Excerpt from The Crucible: A Southerner's Impression of Hampton
Right there is where they make the greatest mistake Of their lives. Of all the places Of absorbing interest in the country, Hampton Institute can easily Claim the lead, and make good that Claim, whether it be from an industrial, sociological, phil anthropic, or any other basis.
The institute is a crucible - a veritable crucible in which for nearly half a century a modern miracle has taken place. From out the South, where Negro life has been an existence of mental and moral darkness, steeped in ignorance, idleness, and superstition, a steady, ceaseless current has flowed into this crucible, there to be transformed by the wonder-touch, and in turn poured forth, a living stream of moral integrity, mental strength, and industrial ability.
