Title:
Letter from Kathleen R. Bruyn to W. E. B. Du Bois
Description:
Seeking his "blessing" and thoughts on her approach to "the so-called 'Negro question'"; describing her admiration for his writings, and her changing attitudes on the emphasis her book ought to place on the operation of the FEPC or the abolition of the poll tax; noting arguments made thereon by Robert C. Weaver and Paul Robeson and seeking Du Bois's response to same; and inquiring if he still feels "that a carefully and intelligently planned co-operative Negro industrial system.... is the answer."
