BOSTON EVENING TRANSCRIPT, Nov. 15, 1915 

* Booker T. Washington death w/ photo
* African American leader, educator, author
* Tuskegee University founder


Page 14 has fine coverage on Booker T. Washington, noting his death. First column heads: "BOOKER WASHINGTON DEAD" "Famous Negro Educator Succumbs at Tuskegee" "For at Least 2 Years His Health Had Failed" "Seldom Rested from his Arduous Labors" "School A Monument to His Great Genius" with the text taking close to two columns, followed by additional articles on Washington.
This is accompanied by a large photo headed: "The Man That Led Not an Army But a Race" showing him and his wife and sons.
Complete in 20 pages, nice condition, somewhat fragile so should be handled carefully.
