The Negro scholar and “gentleman”
In a letter to the editor, Max Heller criticizes President Roosevelt for inviting Booker T. Washington to the White House, as an example of inappropriate familiarity between the races. Heller defends, however, the right of African Americans to education and uplift, and argues that every man should be judged on his own merits.
