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.

The BOOKER T. WASHINGTON Papers no effort to go forward in the direction that other races are making progress because it has gotten into the habit of crying anal can do nothing else. New York City TLpS and TLpSr Enclosure Con. 37 BTW Papers DLC. To Ray Stannard Baker American Spectator [Tuskegee, Ala.] February I, 1907 Dear Mr. Baker: I beg to return herewith proofs of your article which is to appear in the April American. Let me tell you how much pleased I am with the careful and impartial way in which you have chronicled events leading up to and succeeding the Atlanta riot. I do feel, however, that I ought to express my disappointment because you use the small N (n) for ''Negro'' through it. I believe Negro should be capitalized as much as Indian, Filipino, or any other of the race varieties. The New York Tribune, and the Doubleday Page publications carry the capital N for Negro, and I believe you could well do the same thing. Self-respecting Negroes who are not ashamed of the term Negro, are always very much disappointed when they find themseives treated as a common noun, instead of as a race variety carrying capital letters in publications, just as others of our citizenship. I am sure that great good will follow as a result of the publication of your articles. I have read this one with real interest. Yours truly, Booker T. Washington TLpSr Con. ~ BTW Papers DLC.
