The front page has a one column heading: "TUSKEGEE NEGRO CONFERENCE OPEN" with subhead. (see images) Surprisingly this issue is in good condition being from the "wood pulp" era. Very hard to find issues that are not totally fragile from this era in paper.
Complete with all 6 pages, a few tiny binding holes along the spine, nice condition.
AI notes: On February 18, 1903, the annual Tuskegee Negro Conference opened at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, under the leadership of Booker T. Washington. Established in the 1890s, the conference brought together Black farmers, educators, ministers, and community leaders from across the South to discuss practical strategies for improving the economic, agricultural, and educational conditions of African Americans. The 1903 meeting, like others before it, emphasized self-help, land ownership, industrial training, and moral uplift. Washington presided over the sessions, which featured reports from delegates about local progress and challenges since the previous year. The conference reflected Washington’s philosophy that collective organization and practical education were essential tools for racial advancement in the face of segregation and economic hardship.
