$20,000 Needed
Help us raise annually the sum of $20,000 to finance the work of collecting and publishing the materials bearing on Negro life and history. Our efforts have hitherto been restricted to what we have been able to induce interested individuals to undertake in their respective localities. Moving at this slow rate and in such an unsystematic way, the work will proceed so slowly that many valuable documents and the testimonies of slaves and masters will be lost to the world and the story of the Negro will perish with him.
To raise this fund we are appealing to all persons professing an interest in the propagation of the truth. We need
