About This Item

Autograph Letter Signed by a Harvard Professor, dated October 19, 1909. 1 page, on the letterhead of The Harvard Union, with a red embossed figure of a tower. The professor, who signs in slightly illegible hand "Gilbert T. Saph..." writes about a "talk I made to the Negroes of my community."The writer of this letter offers that it is not usual for him to repeat his own speeches, but he does not mind sending along the manuscript. As to why he makes these speeches, he explains "I do it because I cherish that what I said may be helpful to Negroes in other parts of the Country, and also to some of our own people." An interesting letter on race relations, showing that in a time of unequal educational opportunities and prejudice, there were some educators who cared to disperse important learning across racial lines and worked toward race equality.
