President Roosevelt at Tuskegee Urges Color Lineage Progress
President Roosevelt visited Tuskegee on Oct 24 addressing a mixed white and colored audience at the Normal Institute. Booker T. Washington introduced him, and the president urged educated African Americans to lead sober industrious and law abiding lives, stressing respect for contracts and perseverance as keys to progress in the South. He warned against crime by any race and called for harmony with white citizens to build the commonwealth. Meanwhile Peter S. Reedy, a Dakota man, forged Emma Larrow’s pension order and cashes checks, fooling officials until investigators uncovered the scheme and the arrest followed.
