Those Negroes that did manual labor for a living had “no aspiration beyond their bellies and no God greater than Gold.” He claimed only 34 institutions provided Negroes with more than a high school education. Those that graduated from an academic institution became teachers and preachers. 6% segued to medical schools and 5% studied law, but many university graduates actually returned to blue collar work because no professional positions were open to them. Du Bois went on to say the “purpose of education is not to make men carpenters but to make carpenters men.”
