Volume VII (West Virginia).

"This collection of biographies of prominent Negro men and
women of Washington, D. C. is Volume VI of the Biographical
History of the American Negro. It does not pretend to include
all the important men and women of the race in the Capital
City, but it does include many of the noblest and best. Others
equally prominent and useful, misunderstanding or disapprov-
ing of the work, have either ignoied the request for data or
flatly refused to furnish same.
 
"A book dealing with contemporary men and women can
never be made quite complete or exhaustive, for, even while
it is being made, some will move or pass away, while others
will rise to take their places. We have sought to make the
work, at least, representative, dealing with leaders in the edu-
cational, religious, professional and business life of the City."
