PAGE TWO Booker T. Washington was, per haps, the only man of eminence of his day who was free from race prejudice. He neither despised nor esteemed any man because of his race. Booker T. Washington’s paci ficatory doctrine of racial peace and good will, his sound, sober appraisement of the importance of practical education, his urgent insistence upon economic dvelop ment instead of too confident re liance on political action, his com monsense gospel of industiy, thrift and economy, his philosophy of accomplishing the possible rather than attempting the unattainable, must be at the basis of any future scheme of race reclamation and relationship. His place in history is secure. His contribution is permanent. His influence will abide. Booker Washington will be remembered by posterity, not only as a great Negro, but as a great American and as a great man.
