ALICE J. CUTRIGHT KAINE PAPERS. 305 items
Correspondence, writings, printed materials, and photographs chiefly concerning Kaine's
administrative work at Tuskeegee Institute (Tuskeegee, Alabama) during the 1890s. During her
tenure at the school, Kaine developed close ties with Booker T. Washington, Washington's wife
Margaret, and the couple's children. Kaine's letters home to Milwaukee describe Washington's
management style and educational philosophy, Kaine's interaction with the Washington
children, and her numerous forays into the homes and churches of Tuskeegee. Also included are
letters to Kaine from Margaret Washington after the former's return to Wisconsin, ca.
1900-1910.
