Henry Pleasants Jr. (1884-1963) was the president of the Civics Club at
Haverford College when, as a student, he invited Booker T. Washington to visit
and speak at Haverford in 1905. Washington thanks Pleasant for inviting him to
speak and in the 1906 letter he thanks Pleasant for the financial contribution
to Tuskegee made by Pleasant and the Haverford Civics Club.
