Anna Julia Cooper writes to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, on
behalf of Charles HarrisWesley, professor (1868-1964) of history at Howard University. She
asks thatWesley be appointed successor to Benjamin L. Gaskins on the Board of Education. .
. “giving us a man who is primarily an educator, a Christian gentleman, a quiet thoughtful,
sincere man. . .” “Dr.Wesley has no axes to grind,” says Cooper,” and would, I am sure
bring to [the] education of colored folk in the District a wise, sympathetic and conservative
insight.” Unfortunately, Dr.Wesley was not appointed, despite Ms. Cooper’s imprecations.
