Here's your quote:
"It is stupid in America to invest so little in Negro education as compared to white education. Everybody needs to be educated. Democracy depends on a totally enlightened and educated citizenry.... I think the day of selfishness is over; the day of really working together has come, and we must learn to work together all of us, regardless of race or creed or color.... We go ahead together or we go down together."
- Eleanor Roosevelt - Speech to Washington Conference on Negro Education, May 11, 1934
