INTRODUCTION.
HAVE
cheerfully consented to prefix
a few v/ords introductory to this auto-
biograph}'. While I have encouraged
its publication, not a sentence has been
submitted to my examination. From my inti-
mate acquaintance with the subject, because of
my connection with the Peabody and the Slater
Education Funds, I am sure the volume has such
a strong claim upon the people that no com-
mendation is needed.
The life of Booker T. Washington cannot be
written. Incidents of birth, parentage, schooling,
early struggles, later triumphs, may be detailed
with accuracy, but the life has been so incorpo-
rated, transfused, into such a multitude of other
—
lives, broadening views, exalting ideals, mold-
—
ing character, that no human being can know
its deep and beneficent influence, and no pen can
describe It. Few living Americans have made a
deeper impression on public opinion, softened or
removed so many prejudices, or awakened
greater hopefulness in relation to the solution
of a problem, encompassed with a thousand diffi-
culties and perplexing the minds of philanthro-
pists and statesmen. His personality is unique.
