BIGGEST CROWD IN HISTORY
HEARS TUSKEGEE EXERCISES
Tuskegee choir under the direction
of W m. L. Dawson rendered se
lections and Wm. Jay Schieffelin,
chairman of the Tuskegee trustee
board introduced Mr. Farley.
Postmaster General Farley, de
clared: “That the names of two
Washingtons stand out in the an
nals of this country’s history. “One
was called the Father of his coun
try,” he said, “the other was cer
tainly a Father of his people.
"Every one of Tuskegee’s 130
buildings is a monument to Booker
Washington’s faith and achieve
ment,” Mr. Farley continued.
“When he looked upon this spot
59 years ago, only an ancient
church and a tumble-down cabin
confronted his eagerness. Everyone
of the 2,000 faces of your student
body, the thousands of faces of
students that have gone before you,
and the thousand of workers’ faces
throughout the nation brightening
up at the mention of their Booker
T. Washington, now are monu
ments to his name.
“There is something distinctive
ly American in Tuskegee’s deter
mination that you will make a bet
ter world,” the Postmaster General
asserted and lauded Booker T.
Washington for giving direction to
the foreward movement of the Ne
gro race by utilizing its native
optimism and energy to prove the
merit of his educational ideal.
In connection with his authoriza
tion of the first stamp ever issued
in this country eomipemorating
the achievements of an American
Negro, the Postmaster General's
action in designating George W.
Peterson, audit clerk in the divi
sion of stamps, bureau of the third
assistant postmaster general, to as
sist with this historic first day
sale, seem to reflect Mr. Farley’s
interest in his qualified Negro
civic service employes who have

merited recognition. It is signifi
cant also that this sale was placed
in the hands of Postmaster Richard
P. Harris, ranking Negro post
master, the first of his race ever
entrusted with a first day sale.
With the final count not as yet
completed, tabulations show more
than 150,000 pieces of mail ser
viced and cancelled before midnight
and the definite indication that this
figure will be substantially increas
ed when all of the mail bearing
date of April 7, 1940, has been ser
viced and cancelled. On his short
visit of inspection to Carnegie hall,
temporary quarters set up for the
issuance of the Booker T. Washing
ton stamp, the Postmaster Gener
al and the Deputy Third Assistant
Postmaster General Roy M. North,
congratulated Postmaster Harris
and his corps of assistants on the
fine showing made on the first day
sale and were photographed beside
the huge accumulation of covers
sent in with enclosures. Herbert S.
Chamberlain, chief of the redemp
tion section jof the division of
stamps, and formerly philatetic
agent, gave collectors expert ser
vice in meeting their exacting de
mands throughout the two weeks
of planning in preparation for the
first day sale. Assistant Solicitor
Ralph Mizelle was also in atten
dance.
The Booker T. Washington
stamp was included in an original
commemorative group called
Heroes of Peace, sponsored by the
late Michael L. Eidsness, Jr.,
former superintendent, under Wal
ter Brown, of the division of stamps
along with the other educators
whose likenesses have been placed
on stamps during the Hoover ad
ministration according to Waldo
Fawcett, Washington star, but it
remained for Mr. Farley to author
ize the issuance of this stamp com
memorating Booker T. Washing
ton, peerless Negro educator.
Mr. Farley has under his ad
ministrative jurisdiction more Ne
gro civil service employes than
any other cabinet officer, in the
postal field services, and it is to
be hoped that his genuine demon
stration of interest in Negro
achievement at Tuskegee institute
on April 7 is indicative of his
broad and liberal attitude toward
America’s neglected minority. Ne
groes everywhere will be watching
this candidate for the democratic
presidential nomination for other
evidences of his sense of fair play
in human achievement and may
reasonably expect the postmaster
general to give further opportuni
ties to deserving Negroes in the
postal service to advance in pro
portion as they prove themselves
deserving promotion.
Telegrams were read from Pres
ident Roosevelt, Herbert Hoover,
Governor Lehman of New York,
Booker T. Washington, Third and
many others.
Among those present for the
Founder’s Day exercises and to
hear Postmaster General James /V.
Farley were: Dr. J. R. E. Lee,
president, Florida A. & M. college;
