Dubious: Booker T. Washington hired spies to spy on William Hannibal Thomas? Not likely.

[edit]

The contention that contemporaneous Black leaders organized "spying" on William Hannibal Thomas is not substantiated by the cited work. It appears that contemporaneous Black leaders gathered potentially damaging information on Thomas via other Black journalists, happy to give their accounts of Thomas' increasingly unhinged behavior. [1]

"W.E.B. DuBois, Washington and other black leaders weighed in, aided by black journalists who provided details from Thomas' checkered past. Columnist John Edward Bruce called Thomas ``the one-armed saddle-colored Judas."
