In almost every case the meetings have been attended not only by the coloured people in large numbers, but by the white people.

In Chattanooga, Tenn., for example, there was present at the mass-meeting an audience of not less than three thousand persons, and I was informed that eight hundred of these were white.

I have done no work that I really enjoyed more than this, or that I think has accomplished more good.
These meetings have given Mrs.Washington and myself an opportunity to get first-hand, accurate information as to the real condition of the race, by seeing the people in their homes, their churches, their Sunday-schools, and their places of work, as well as in the prisons and dens of crime.

These meetings also gave us an opportunity to see the relations that exist between the races.

I never feel so hopeful about the race as I do after being engaged in a series of these meetings.
