“ One of the most important phases of his leadership of the negro was in the organization of the National Negro Business League. It was one of Washington's strongest beliefs that the negro must prove himself able to exist and prosper in business matters.

“ He made the white man and the negro know each other better and understand each other better. He lessened the friction between the races and increased the good will. He brought encouragement and inspiration to his own race and gained the sympathy and coöperation of the white race. Everywhere he opposed ignorance and prejudice and injustice in any form. Because of his wisdom and tact as a leader, not only the negro but the entire nation was helped.

He also contributed frequent articles to the weekly journals, such as The Outlook, and to the monthly magazines, such as The Century Magazine. ”
