Description

Washington forwards literature on "the matter of race relations"

TLS, one page, 8.75 x 11, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute letterhead, May 16, 1903. Letter to Kansas Senator Joseph R. Burton, in part: "I beg to say that the Hampton Institute can send you direct information as to the amount of taxable property held by the Negroes of Virginia and surrounding states. Under separate cover today I am sending you a batch of printed matter, including my address before the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences last February, which will set forth quite at length my own views in the matter of race relations, etc…In this connection I would also suggest my books, 'The Future of the American Negro,' and 'Up from Slavery,' which perhaps you have already read." In fine condition.
