The American Negro - Recording or Recording with Transcript
In this noted address to the President and visitors to the Atlanta Exposition, Washington speaks of improved race relations and economic conditions in the South. He states, "in no way, has the...value of the American Negro been more fittingly and generously recognized than by the vantages of this magnificent exposition." For Washington, this collaboration served to "cement the friendship" of the two races, and here he calls for camaraderie among not only white and black Americans, but also understanding for the experiences of the new immigrants currently entering the country.
