Letter from Theodore Roosevelt to Booker T. Washington
President Roosevelt often receives letters like the one enclosed by Booker T. Washington. He has been assured that all the African Americans in office are personally against him, but all of those statements are specifically contradicted at the same time. Roosevelt will not consider the Southern delegates for any appointments. His real concern is the inability to know the character of the men, “particularly the colored men,” who hold offices in the South.
