Letter from Scott W. Crosthwait to Theodore Roosevelt
Scott W. Crosthwait sends Theodore Roosevelt his “production,” which he finished on Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. He discusses his enslaved parents and his birth into slavery. Because of this experience, he feels all oppressed people, including Jews, should have a square deal. Crosthwait asks Roosevelt, “a friend of the Jews,” to read and publicize the sentiments of his work.
