Letter from Joseph E. Wiley to Theodore Roosevelt
Joseph E. Wiley brings Theodore Roosevelt’s attention to his plan to develop a cotton mill that will train and employ African Americans in Dallas, Texas. He believes the development of the textile industry run by African Americans will benefit the workers, the South, and the nation at large. He already has support from other textile estates in the north.
