| 1 | Author: | Washington, Booker T. | Add | | Title: | Signs of Progress among the Negroes | | | Published: | 1994 | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | Description: | IN addition to the problem of educating eight million negroes in
our Southern States and ingrafting them into American citizenship,
we now have the additional responsibility, either directly or
indirectly, of educating and elevating about eight hundred thousand
others of African descent in Cuba and Porto Rico, to say nothing of
the white people of these islands, many of whom are in a condition
about as deplorable as that of the negroes. We have, however, one
advantage in approaching the question of the education of our new
neighbors. | | Similar Items: | Find |
