Booker Washington's prominence tested by southern reception
A Boston Post report traces Booker Washington's luncheon with financier Alexander Sedgwick at a Massachusetts summer estate. It questions whether social acclaim among northern millionaires will help or hinder his Tuskegee work in Alabama, stressing the need for white and black support and harming relations with the South. It notes past protests and implies Washington is a pupil of Gen Armstrong, not a pioneer. The piece also critiques Boston’s Advertiser for mixed independence and organ stance, and comments on related political and social issues of the era.
