The Movable School Goes To The Negro Farmer.

A lovely copy


The book’s Preface succinctly distills the contents of this book: “A semi-autobiographical sketch of the writer [an African American], setting forth his early life in Georgia, how he went to Tuskegee, worked his way through school under Booker T. Washington, and was chosen by the federal government as the first Negro Extension Agent, operating the first Movable School, a development begun at Tuskegee Institute twenty-nine years ago.” The book is notable for its plates, from original photos showing African Americans in the rural South, often posed, some vernacular in nature.
