Booker T. Washington understands why Theodore Roosevelt cannot attend the Tuskegee Board of Trustees meeting but is pleased to announce that Julius Rosenwald of Sears, Roebuck and Company has agreed to join the Board. Washington felt that it was his duty to press charges in the Ulrich assault case even though he doubted there would ever be a conviction. Almost all evidence presented in Henry Albert Ulrich’s defense has been “pure fabrication.”
