Horace E. Stockbridge has heard about Theodore Roosevelt’s interest in speaking with Professor Perry C. Parks about agricultural topics, and praises the efforts Parks has been making in Georgia. He sends Roosevelt an address in which he alludes to Parks’s work, but laments that because of Parks’s race he has been met with resistance in the state. Stockbridge encourages Roosevelt to speak to the value of industrial training and of the work done by Parks and Booker T. Washington.
