THE CRISIS ADVERTISER     251

The Authorized Biography of
BOOKER T.
WASHINGTON

Builder of a Civilization
By EMMETT J. SCOTT
for 18 Years Secretary to Booker T. Washington
and LYMAN BEECHER STOWE
Preface by Theodore Roosevelt

The dramatic accurate story of one who rose from slave boy to be the recognized leader of his race and to take his place for all time among America's great men.
A trenchant and graphic picture of the man himself as known by those nearest him; of his contributions to education, his position on the rights of the Negro and race prejudice, etc.
The serious matter is relieved by many of the inimitable stories for which Washington was noted.  This book furnishes a sequel to "Up from Slavery."
