Collection consists of two typescript letters dated 1901, signed by Booker T. Washington, African-American leader, educator and author, as well as a clipped signature. Letters are written from the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama and are addressed to publishers. Washington writes to John Kendrick Bangs of Harper's Weekly, inviting him to attend the Negro Conference at Tuskegee in February. He advises Bangs that he is mailing him a copy of his book, The Future of the American Negro, and promises to send an article he has written for consideration. A letter to the Youth's Companion gives permission to use his photographic portrait. less
