Asberry, Nettie J.
Description
This letter was sent on January 23, 1928 from Nettie J. Asberry, President of the State Federation of Colored Women's Organizations, Washington and Jurisdiction, to Harry Ault, editor of the Seattle Union Record. Asberry asks Ault if he will write an editorial on "Negro History in observation of Negro History Week February, 5-12". She references a letter from Josephine Corliss Preston, the state superintendent of public instruction, which gives Preston's support to the observance of Negro History Week in conjunction with Abraham Lincoln's birthday, and includes a brief appeal to the importance of promoting "a greater growth of morale of Negro youth". The letter is written on the organization's letterhead, which lists the names and addresses of 21 additional officers in the federation.
