Letter from Booker T. Washington to Christopher J. Perry
Booker T. Washington writes to Christopher J. Perry about Perry’s recent editorial about President Roosevelt and the Atlanta race riot. Washington defends Roosevelt’s lack of federal action in favor of local and state authorities handling the matter, which has raised public conscience and a closer relationship between the whites and the colored people that exists no where else in the South.
