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.

JULY · I 9 I 5 To Florence E. Sewell Bonds New York City, June so, ~ 9 ~ 5 My dear Madam: Replying to yours of June 27th ~ would state that, we have no idea of permitting any pictures of Tuskegee to be exhibited in connection with The Birth of a Nation. We have been appealed to to make such an exhibit but have refused on the grounds that such an exhibit would be an indirect endorsement of The Birth of a Nation. We consider The Birth of a Nation a thoroughly hanulu] and vicious play, and want to do everything possible to prevent its being exhibited. ~ fee} quite sure that you have been m~sinforrned regarding the attitude of Mr. William H. Lewis. He is thoroughly opposed to the play, as ~ know. I thank you for writing me. Yours very truly, Booker T. Washington] TLc Con. 75 BOW Papers DLC. ~ Florence E. Sewell Bond was the cataloger in the Carnegie Library at Tuskegee Institute from 1905 to Anglo. She later moved to Boston, where she married William P. Bond, a painter. She wrote to BOW on June 27, 19~5, with ''a friendly warning,'' implying that William H. Lewis of Boston favored the showing of the film The Birth of a Nation. She also assumed as true the rumor that BTW was to allow scenes of Tuskegee Institute to be shown in conjunction with the film. (Con. 75, BTW Papers, DLC.) To Jacob Godfrey Schmidiapp New York City, July fist, 19~5 Dear Mr. Schmidiapp: ~ am very much obliged to you for your kind letter, and for the letter of introduction to Mr. Henry Ford of Detroit. ~ shall hope to have the privilege at some time of calling upon Mr. Ford, and ~ hope that we may be able to interest him in the work of Tuskegee Institute. 335
