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.

OCTOBER · I 9 I 5 After about one hour of pros and cons, we reached a tentative agreement subject to your approval which Is as follows-, That the scenario Is to be submitted to you and Dr. Washington before production, and if you both approve of same, their man will come to Tuskegee and endeavor to bring in some pictures of Tuskegee Institute, during the course of the film, i.e. they wiR remodel their scenario so as to be able to insert these scenes. In return for this, you are to lend them whatever help you can in taking these pictures. No monetary consideration on either side. ~ tried very hard to get the rights of this picture after it had been shown in their exchanges, so that we could use same in the Negro Churches, Lyceum Theatres etc., through the South. They would not hear of this, but said that if we cared to buy them, why they would be pleased to make arrangements with us. Just one thing more which we may be able to work out, and that is, ~ told Mr. Brandt in view of all the publicity which his firm would get, and the added prominence that the influence of Tuskegee would give to this picture, that we were at least entitled to have them take some film for us to be used as educational films for these Colored Theatres, etc. He did not agree to anything definite regarding this, but said that after they got to Tuskegee and had seen what you had to offer them, and felt that it was something worth while in their picture, he would, as he expressed it (out of goodness of heart) take a couple of thousand feet of educational film of this kind for you. As the Sterne picture had not been started in production, ~ did not think it out of place in telling him that we had a very big picture in mind to which you held the rights (Up From Slavery). I spoke to him about this wonderful book which he had not read, therefore promptly sent it to him, and perhaps something will develop out of this. Taking it all in all, ~ think the Universal proposition is a fair one, In as much as the original offer made by them called for quite a substantial sum of money to be given over by Tuskegee and its friends, in return for the publicity that this film would bring them. Please let me hear from you as soon as possible with regard to this, so that ~ can take this matter up further with Mr. Brandt, and assuring you again that anything ~ can do for you in New York ~ shall be more than pleased to give whatever time ~ can to fulfill. am with kindest regards, Sincerely yours, Harry C.
