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 bondagewithout set-aside contracts and without annual "civil rights" bills.

Home Authors Titles Keyword Search ... Reference Booker T. Washington Booker T. Washington was born into slavery in Franklin County near Roanoke, Virginia in 1856, and moved with his family just after the Civil War to Malden, West Virginia, where Washington worked in the salt mines. He succeeded in securing an education at the Hampton Institute in Virginia's Tidewater region. From there he went to teach at the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. When Washington became president of Tuskegee in 1881, the school hardly existed, yet largely through his efforts it became one of the leading facilities for black education in the United States. By the 1890s, Washington was the most prominent African-American in the country, and a number of Presidents, as well as business leaders, relied on Washington as an advisor. Washington's autobiography, Up From Slavery published in 1901, followed the American tradition of the self-made man's account of his success. The work was internationally popular as well as a critical success, and brought large amounts of much-needed funds to Tuskegee. Booker T. Washington died in 1915.

Washington Activities This link leads to artifacts, teaching tips and discussion questions for this author. Born into slavery and poverty, Booker T. Washington grew up to become one of the most powerful African American public figures in the United States at the end of the nineteenth century. As a speaker, writer, and educator, Washington articulated ideas that had a tremendous influence on the state of race relations in America. In his autobiography, Up from Slavery (1901), he told the story of his life as the fulfillment of the mythic American Dream: he stresses that his success was achieved through hard work, perseverance, and virtue. Washington's skillful self-presentation and his remarkable abilities as a speaker, writer, and rhetorician played no small part in his rise to leadership and his consolidation of power within the African American community.

Washington Name: Booker Taliaferro Washington Occupation: Black Educator and Spokesman Birth and Death: 1856-1915 Home: West Virginia It is at the bottom of life we must begin and not at the top . -Booker T. Washington Booker T. Washington was born a slave on a small farm in the Virginia back country. He moved with his family after the emancipation proclamation to work in the salt furnaces and coal mines of West Virginia. He had his secondary education at Hampton Institute. Later he accepted a teaching position there. In 1881, he founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute on the Hampton model in the Black Belt of Alabama. At its opening it only consisted of an old church and a battered building with only thirty students in attendance (Harlen). Washington learned the value of industrial education at Hampton Institute, which he used as a model in the building of Tuskegee Institute. He taught his students that the dignity and the beauty of labor of learning a trade were more necessary sometimes than the study of Greek and Latin verbs. He convinced southern white employers and governors that Tuskegee offered an education that would keep blacks on the farm and in the trades. To prospective northern donors and particularly the new self-made millionaires he promised the teaching of the Protestant work ethic. To blacks living within the limited horizons of the post-Reconstruction South, Washington developed local white approval and secured some small grants, but the northern donations made Tuskegee Institute the best-supported black educational institution in the country by 1900 (Harlen).

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.

Home Becoming New Southerners > Booker T. Washington Booker T. Washington Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) was born enslaved in Franklin County, Virginia. After emancipation, he lived for a time in West Virginia before attending Hampton Institute from 1872 to 1875. After graduation, he taught school. In the face of racial hatred, segregation, and disenfranchisement, Washington contended that it was unrealistic for African Americans to gain entry to America's white-collar professions. Instead, they should establish themselves as a skilled and indispensable laboring class. Then, he believed, political and social inequities would disappear. In 1881 Washington put his theory to the test. Placed in charge of a fund of $2,000 for the establishment of a school in Alabama, he founded Tuskegee Institute. As this venture grew into a thriving complex of classrooms and workshops, Washington's philosophy gained wide currency. By the early 1900s, the "Tuskegee idea" represented the mainstream in African American education, and since the death of Frederick Douglass, Washington had become the most visible spokesman for his race. By the time of his death, however, other blacks such as W. E. B. Du Bois had come to reject Washington's philosophy as too timid and too gradual.

Washington This African American hero (1856-1915) was the founder of Tuskegee Institute. The bronze statue is by Charles Keck (1875-1951). 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.
