Where Do We Go from Here?

I understood from the text how a persons dignity is something that is close hearted to them. Especially when it comes to they black people, their dignity is something that I believe that they hold higher and closer to themselves than any other race in America at that time. As a race that is limited and not really considered free to the world, they were the type of race that at that time all they had was their dignity, because the white Americans took everything else from them. Dignity by definition is worthiness and/or conduct. African Americans needed a since of worthiness because they would not have anything else to help them believe that it would get better except Jesus.
