THE FUTURE OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO Booker T. Washington Boston Small, Maynard & Company 1900 Copyright, 1899, By Small, Maynard & Company (Incorporated) Entered at Stationers' Hall First Edition (2,000 copies), November, 1899 Second Edition (2,000 copies), February, 1900 Press of George H. Ellis, Boston, U.S.A. PREFACE. In giving this volume to the public, I deem it fair to say that I have yielded to the oft-repeated requests that I put in some more definite and permanent form the ideas regarding the Negro and his future which I have expressed many times on the public platform and through the public press and magazines. I make grateful acknowledgment to the "Atlantic Monthly" and "Appleton's Popular Science Monthly" for their kindness in granting permission for the use of some part of articles which I have at various times contributed to their columns.
