The page presentation framework of the Booker T. Washington papers is designed to provide researchers worldwide with searchable access to the thousands of pages comprising the fourteen volumes, most of which are out of print. Adapted from the National Academy Press's Open Book framework, this framework allows searching down to the page level, provides sorting of search results chronologically, enables easy navigation across multiple volumes, and allows page-by-page local printing (via PDF) of every page.

-MAY . I9I5 to my mind is that for the first time during my ~7 years in Boston the entire Negro population is a unite. Now while at one of the hearings last week as ~ looked over that vast crowd of Negro men & women —this thought came to me; this is a united people though in the manority now they are going to win. Why not enlarge this so ~ saw in my mind a meeting in this city in the Old Liberty HaD - the speakers Washington, Walters, Du Bois Trotter and others where aD things of the past would be buried. And a race of Ten Millions of Negroes would be united. A Nation would really be Born. This union together with those of the best blood of the White race would be a force against which no power in this Country could prevail and our just dues would be secured. This was my dream. ~ have mentioned it to only two others, both as ~ am; members of our local Business League the matter may be taken up - by our League —if others think weld of it. Knowing the many cliques here in Boston ~ am sending you this note. So that if the matter should be presented to you later you know of its very origin. ~ am hoping that I may live to see this dream come true; it would be a great day for us in this Country. So you can realize that your telegram—came during the play and endorsing our fight has been a great source of comfort to me. ~ am enclosing herewith a circular we had distributed yesterday Sunday in ad of the Negro Churches of the community. ~ am very respectfully Yours J.
