Excerpt from Why I Am Dissatisfied I heard the remarks of a man of my race who was in a parade on July 4, 1917. He said, I now belong to the United States Army and I am going up against Germany. I don't mind fighting, I don't mind dying, but I hate -to leave my wife. He received much applause from the other race and also from his own race. It didn't please me at all. It put me 'to thinking and I was not satisfied. I went on a long time trying to find something to match what he had said. At last, I have found something to match him. I say, I belong to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and Africa must be free. I don't mind fighting, I don't mind dying, for I am preparing a place for my wife and my race. I have no children of my own, but my brother has some. When I say my brother, I mean this Negro race of mine. When I look upon the faces of the boys and girls of my race, it brings much cheer to me because of their bright future. But when I stop and think, I wonder what these children will have to use their bright future on. These children are looking for their fathers and mothers, yes, and to the race at large, to put something in their way that they may catch hold of it and make themselves better men and women.
