Washington's letters, speeches, personal biographies, and the many articles written about him while he lived [1856-1915], the most striking feature that one comes away with is his exceptional maturity. One can only be impressed by the clarity of this man's thinking and his objective grasp of the situation in which blacks found themselves in the late 1800s. He understood, in a way that only a son of the South could, the complicated nature of the relationship between the two races and the interests they shared in the future economic development of the country. Convinced that the progress of blacks depended first and foremost on the race establishing a firm economic foundation, he made it his mission to help his people bring this about. In Washington's lifetime he proved that it was possible for thousands of ex-slaves to prosper throughout this country as creators of a whole new set of opportunities. Not only did blacks excel beyond all expectations of the day, we did it in this land of our bondage-without set-aside contracts and without annual "civil rights" bills.

W ho are the Legends of Tuskegee and what do they have in common? Booker Taliafero Washington, George Washington Carver and the Tuskegee Airmen all came to Tuskegee and created their own legends. Tuskegee is more than a town located in Macon County, Alabama. It is an idea and an ideal. It was a bold experiment and a site of major African-American achievements for over 100 years. Booker T. Washington It was at Tuskegee, in the heart of the American South, that Washington founded the "Tuskegee Normal School for Colored Teachers." He built the school (later known as Tuskegee Institute ) into a major center for African-American education. He brought the best and brightest African Americans to work with him to fulfill his mission of educating African Americans for self-sufficiency. Washington and Tuskegee Institute became a major political force in America. George Washington Carver (circa 1864-1943) Hired in 1896 by Booker T. Washington to teach agriculture at Tuskegee, Carver spent over 40 years on the Tuskegee campus. An inspired teacher, Carver taught many generations of Tuskegee students. He was committed to increasing African-American farmers' economic independence. Tuskegee Institute became synonymous with Carver and his innovative research on Southern crops and farming methods. Tuskegee Airmen The school at Tuskegee founded by Booker T. Washington had a well-respected aeronautical engineering program. Because of the Institute's flight program, the U.S. military selected Tuskegee Insitute as a place to train African-American pilots for the war effort. Aviators came to Tuskegee, Alabama, to hone their flying skills. Their rigorous training at Moton Field and Tuskegee Army Air Field molded over 1,000 pilots into one of the most highly respected U.S. fighter groups of World War II.

Powell, judge; Dr. Asa Yancy, surgeon; and Dr. Mabel Smith Lott, psychologist. Because of its quality of education, many students came from out of town to attend this school. The school opened in 1924, 52 years after public education started in Atlanta. It remained the only black high school in the city until 1947. The school was named for Booker T. Washington (1856-1915), a Virginia native who had been born a slave and became one of the most influential black leaders and educators in the United States. In 1881 he founded and became the first principal of Tuskegee Institute. Booker T. Washington High School is located at 45 Whitehouse Dr. in Atlanta.

Booker T. Washington - (1856-1915) Franklin County By Minrisha Page Middle School, Virginia "No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem." -Booker T. Washington Booker T. Washington was one of America's first African-American educators. He made "footsteps" in this nation's history, and also opened doors for African-Americans across America. Washington was born a slave in Franklin County, Virginia, in 1856. He lived with his mother and two older siblings. He never knew his father but suspected he was a white man who lived on another plantation nearby. His family eventually moved to West Virginia with his stepfather, walking the entire journey. One day while working he overheard a conversation of two men talking about a school for colored people. Washington was fascinated at the thought of going to school. After working as a servant for 1 1/2 years to earn his tuition, Washington attended Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute. Washington traveled almost 500 miles to reach his final destination- Hampton, Virginia. When he arrived at Hampton Institute he had not eaten, taken a bath, or had a good night's sleep in a long time. The administrator accepted Washington as a student only after he swept the recitation-room. Not long after he was accepted into college, Washington took a job as a janitor. Of the time Washington was at the college, he spent most of his days and nights studying. While in Hampton, he worked in a restaurant at Fortress Monroe.

Booker T. Washington From slave to educator, Booker T. Washington is one of the most prominent figures in history for blacks and whites alike. Washington urged blacks to uplift themselves through education and economic development. His story is one of prestige and admiration. He led an incredible life with his desire to educate and lead the black population. Washington was born Booker Taliaferro on April 5, 1856. He was born a slave on a plantation in Franklin County Virginia, but following the Civil War his family moved to Malden, West Virginia. There he worked in a salt furnace and in coalmines, trying to attend school when he got the chance. At school he had only known his first name. So when the other students answered to roll call with two names, Booker added the famous last name Washington. His mother told them he already had a last name and from there he became Booker T. Washington. Washington's ideas and non-threatening racial views earned him fans both black and white. He was coined the name "The Great Accommodator." He believed blacks should not fight or push for civil and political rights and they should instead concentrate on improving job skills and usefulness. He said, "The opportunity to earn a dollar in a factory just now is worth infinitely more than the opportunity to spend a dollar in an opera-house." Washington stressed that their race would eventually earn the respect of the white man. His views pleased many and he was soon the new black spokesman. In 1895, Washington gave his well-known "Atlanta Compromise" speech which expressed his views and ideas. In 1901, he wrote his autobiography

ThePragmatic Booker T. Washington Posted by Adib Rashad ThePragmatic Booker T. Washington By Adib Rashad (RashadM@AOL.COM) The life of Booker T. Washington produces mixed emotions in the African American community. Some, if not most, view him as an enigma, ambiguous, and an accomodationistothers simply believe he was an overt Uncle Tom. Overtly, he definitely appeared to be what these words suggest, but covertly he was a very pragmatic tactician, who did and said things that coincided with the moment, and that produced efficacious results. Psychology permits me to say that Booker T. Washington's personality manifested his historical background, experiences, and his ability to adjust to his total environment. His individuality was shaped through and by particular social forces. His experiences as a slave, his early social and academic training, his identification with significant individuals, and his unique and oftentimes harrowing experiences with events in the South that gave us the total Booker T. Washington. All of these factors shaped and molded Booker T. in a manner that produced an ongoing controversy and

Washington and Du Bois in Perspective Questions to Ponder Booker T. Washington Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) an educator and African American leader, was born a slave on a plantation in Virginia. He spent part of his youth working in coal mines and salt furnaces in West Virginia before becoming a house servant for a former Civil War general and his wife, the leading family in Malden, West Virginia. Washington obtained an education at Hampton Institute in Virginia, and in 1881, he was selected to become principal of a new all-black industrial and normal school in Tuskegee, Alabama. Under Washington's leadership, Tuskegee Institute became an important model of black industrial education in the South. The school's curriculum focused on manual training in job skills. Student labor helped build most of the campus as a way of learning practical skills from brick making to carpentry. Washington's career as a leading spokesman for African Americans was launched with a single speech at the Atlanta Cotton States and International Exposition in 1895. This speech, often called the "Atlanta Compromise," played down the importance of civil rights and social equality among the races in favor of economic and educational advances for African Americans. At the time he delivered this speech, it was widely praised by both blacks and whites, although it was not long before critics of Washington's position emerged to challenge his leadership. Early complaints about Washington's accommodation to the white South came from the black scholar W. E. B. Du Bois and others. But until he died in 1915, Washington was the most influential black leader in America, and the most famous black celebrity in the country, an adviser to presidents and representative to European heads of state.

According to the Tuskegee Institute's website the statue "shows Dr. Washington pulling away from a crouching half-concealed former slave the veil of ignorance and superstition. The larger than life image of Dr. Washington is an expression of the level of his hopes and dreams. The former slave is sitting on an anvil and next to a plow which represent the value Dr. Washington placed on manual labor. The man kneeling represents strength and prowess. The book represents the strength of mind." Click here to return to index of art historical sites.
