#Quotes #Reformers #BookerTWashington

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
You can't hold a man down without staying down with him. -Booker T. Washington, reformer, educator, and author (5 Apr 1856-1915)

I’d be interested to learn colleagues’ reactions. As I see it, #professional sociology is practiced by #scholars, #policy sociology by #reformers, #critical sociology by #radicals, #public sociology by #democrats, #foresight sociology by #visionaries, and #action sociology by #activists. Foresight sociology is the sociology of ‘alternate (better) futures’, and action sociology enters the public sphere to fight the corner for the knowledge sociology provides. The last couple are neglected imo.
