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.

The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers lack of evidence, but probably also because Kit agreed to leave Montgomery. He did so on February As. (Montgomery Advertiser, Feb. 5, 9, lo, Hi, ~2, 1888.) 3 Rev. A. N. McEwen, one of the denouncers of Yellowstone Kit, received a note signed by about twenty black followers of Kit: ''We give you twenty-four hours to get out of this city, for your expression in your paper about the ladies of this city going to Kit's show, and calling the ladies and the gentlemen jackasses. And now we give you twenty-four hours to get out of the city.''
