Unbowed (1999)

Mark Abbott: Jumping Elk

Quotes 

• Jumping Elk : Booker T.'s work with the Indians got him a lot of attention.

  Mother : I know what he did at Hampton.

  Jumping Elk : He's being considered for President of Morehouse, for governor's appointment, that should be you.

  Mother : I have a place here, I'm respected. Outside these doors, I'm just another colored. So is Booker T. Washington.

• Jumping Elk : I don't want them trained, I want them taught! The Red Man deserves to prove he can be educated beyond basic reading and writing. It is the same chance we gave you not so long ago.

  [to President Duquesne]
