description This leaflet, written by Principal W. J. Edwards and directed at potential donors to the school, first explains the educational disparity between African American and white children in the Black Belt and then describes the financial needs of the institute: "Altho it now takes between $15,000 & $20,000 yearly to carry on this work, the school does not receive one dollar from either the state or the county, but must look to the generous public for its means of support. . . . Even $1 will be a great help to us in this cause and will be most highly appreciated."
