Welcome to the Genealogy Forum African American Resource Center! Booker T. Washington Name: Booker T. Washington Birthplace: Franklin County, VA Status: Former Slave Occupation/Training: Educator, Speaker, Adviser Residence: Virginia, Alabama Abolitionist involvement: Around the age of nine Booker T. Washington began working in a salt mine. During his time there he overheard talk of a school for Negroes, he began to dream of getting an education, and resolved to go to the Hampton Normal Agricultural Institute in Virginia. At Hampton, he was allowed to work as the school's janitor in return for his board and part of his tuition. In 1881, he was selected to head a newly established normal school for Negroes at Tuskegee, Alabama, an institution with only two small converted buildings, no equipment, and very little money. In accepting this role, he successfully took the challenge of building the school, transforming it to Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute with more than 100 buildings. In 1895, he delivered a most controversial speech at the Atlanta Exposition, where he asked white Southerners to abide by the law and to aid in the education of the Negro and asked Negroes to postpone their fight for political power and social justice until they had gained greater prosperity.

89. Booker T. Washington Booker T. Washington 1856? 1915. Biography. Though born a slavein Hale's Ford, Virginia, Booker Taliaffero Washington would grow http://www.wwnorton.com/college/english/naal5/explore/washington.htm

Booker T. Washington Biography Though born a slave in Hale's Ford, Virginia, Booker Taliaffero Washington would grow up to be the most influential speaker of his time on American race relations. After the Civil War, he worked several manual jobs in West Virginia, but eager to get an education, he traveled five hundred miles by foot to attend the Hampton Normal Agricultural Institute, which had been established to train black students as teachers and tradesmen. Washington graduated with honors and went on to teach Native Americans. In 1881, he was hired as principal by the Alabama school that under his leadership would become the Tuskegee Institute. He rose to national prominence with his 1895 Atlanta Exposition speech, in which he hoped for peaceful coexistence between the blacks and the whites of America, a hope that some felt diminished opportunities for African American protest and advancement. Washington traced the remarkable stages of his life in his autobiography, Up From Slavery Explorations The Up From Slavery excerpts invite comparison to both Franklin's Autobiography and Douglass's Narrative . Like these earlier writers, Washington offers an account of self-creation and of a complex give-and-take with an existing social and moral order. Franklin's life story offers advice on achieving worldly success through strategies of accommodation, tactful argument, and persuasion; Douglass is remembered for moments of courageous self-affirmation and for confronting an oppressive social order. Washington's situation and aspirations are distinct from those of his literary forebears, but he draws on both Franklin and Douglass in telling the story of his own life.

Unit 2: Those Inventive Americans! Suggested Activities George Washington Carver Era 7: The Emergence of Modern America You have probably heard of George Washington Carver as the inventor of peanut butter. Did you know, however, that he developed more than three hundred derivative products from the peanut? Investigate Carver's life and explain his major advances in agricultural research. Why were his experiments with peanuts, sweet potatoes, and soybeans so significant for southern farmers at the time? The primary purpose of Carver's research was to help southern farmers improve their lives by teaching them better ways of farming. Many farmers had exhausted the soil by continually planting cotton, which utilizes a tremendous amount of the soil's nutrients. Carver encouraged farmers to rotate their crops, alternating cotton with legumes such as sweet potatoes, peanuts, and soybeans, which restore nitrogen to the soil and are good sources of protein. Because the demand for peanuts and sweet potatoes was not high, Carver set out to increase their commercial potential. He ultimately developed more than four hundred synthetic products from peanuts and sweet potatoes, including ink, dyes, plastics, soap, postage-stamp glue, flour, and molasses. Peanuts eventually became the second-largest cash crop in the South, after cotton. George Washington Carver Oil on canvas, 1942

Washington 027 This cabin in Piedmont, Virginia is the birth place of one of the most influential men in black history, Booker T. Washington, who was born here on April 5, 1856. Booker, his brothers and sister slept on the dirt floor, bundled up in rugs. When Booker left the farm at the age of 9, he was uneducated and newly fed. Booker related a story one time of his mother "cooking a chicken late at night, and awakening her children for the purpose of feeding them". She wanted them to eat under cover of darkness before the owners found out the chicken was stolen. D uring the time in America, when slavery was taking place, ( the selling of the black race), was a written inventory which cataloged the slaves on the Burroughs farm in Virginia. On this list was a little boy, his name was simply, "Booker". Booker was valued at $400. Mr. Burroughs never anticipated that one day his young slave would make history by being remembered for his value in promoting education for all African Americans.
