Carter G. Woodson (1875-1950), the inexhaustible director and editor of the Journal of Negro History, was also the editor and publisher of Associated Publishers, as well as a prolific author, lecturer and Civil Rights activist. Woodson typed up this appeal for funds, and probably had the printers at the Journal copy and print up a quantity of copies for mailing to members of the ASNLH. Woodson, proposes that schools, churches and colleges all pay different amounts according to their various abilities--'This will not be a hardship for any one,' and 'as the circular herewith enclosed (not present) will show, you have now the opportunity to help us to help ourselves.'
