From Kevin Gaines' essay on Pauline Hopkins, "Uplift Ideology as 'Civilizing Mission,'" in Pease and Kaplan, eds., Cultures of United States Imperialism, p 442:
"W.E.B. Dubois would revive the analogy in 1903 in challenging Washington's program of industrial education as the exclusive means of the 'uplifting and civilization of black men in America.' Du Bois denounced Washington's policy, indicative of a tendency 'born of slavery and quickened and renewed to life by the crazy imperialism of the day, to regard human beings as among the material resources of a land to be trained with an eye single to future dividends.'"
