efforts, such as the building of vehicles. Chapter 12 "Raising Money": Washington travels north to secure additional funding for the institute with which he had much success. Two years after a meeting with one man, the Institute received a cheque of $10,000 and, from another couple, a gift of $50,000. Washington felt great pressure for his school and students to succeed, for failure would reflect poorly on the ability of the race.

I think that the according of the full exercise of political rights is going to be a matter of natural, slow
