MATAH Search by: Name Description All 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

Washington, Booker Taliaferro (1856-1915) "Mere connection with what is known as a superior race will not permanently carry an individual forward unless he has individual worth; and mere connection with what is regarded as an inferior race will not finally hold an individual back if he possesses intrinsic, individual merit" Up From Slavery American educator, who urged blacks to attempt to uplift themselves through educational attainments and economic advancement. Washington was born April 5, 1856, on a plantation in Franklin County, Virginia, the son of a slave. Following the American Civil War, his family moved to Malden, W.Virginia, where he worked in a salt furnace and in coal mines, attending school whenever he could. From 1872 to 1875 he attended a newly founded school for blacks, Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute (now Hampton University). After graduation he taught for two years in Malden and then studied at Wayland Seminary, in Washington, D.C. Among his books are The Future of the American Negro (1899), the autobiography Up from Slavery (1901), Life of Frederick Douglass (1907), The Story of the Negro (1909), and My Larger Education (1911). The site of the plantation where Washington was born is now a national monument. Du Bois, William Edward Burghardt (1868-1963)

UP FROM SLAVERY Booker T. Washington recalled his childhood in his autobiography, Up From Slavery . He was born in 1856 on the Burroughs tobacco farm which, despite its small size, he always referred to as a "plantation." His mother was a cook, his father a white man from a nearby farm. "The early years of my life, which were spent in the little cabin," he wrote, "were not very different from those of other slaves." He went to school in Franklin County - not as a student, but to carry books for one of James Burroughs's daughters. It was illegal to educate slaves. "I had the feeling that to get into a schoolhouse and study would be about the same as getting into paradise," he wrote. In April 1865 the Emancipation Proclamation was read to joyful slaves in front of the Burroughs home. Booker's family soon left to join his stepfather in Malden, West Virginia. The young boy took a job in a salt mine that began at 4 a.m. so he could attend school later in the day. Within a few years, Booker was taken in as a houseboy by a wealthy towns-woman who further encouraged his longing to learn. At age 16, he walked much of the 500 miles back to Virginia to enroll in a new school for black students. He knew that even poor students could get an education at Hampton Institute, paying their way by working. The head teacher was suspicious of his country ways and ragged clothes. She admitted him only after he had cleaned a room to her satisfaction. In one respect he had come full circle, back to earning his living by menial tasks. Yet his entrance to Hampton led him away from a life of forced labor for good. He became an instructor there. Later, as principal and guiding force behind Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, which he founded in 1881, he became recognized as the nation's foremost black educator.

Click Here to Visit our Sponsor Adulthood After graduation Washington became a teacher in Tinkersville, West Virginia for three years. In 1878 he left to attend Wayland Seminary in Washington DC, but quit after six months. In 1879 Armstrong asked him to return to Hampton Institute as a teacher. Washington did so, and then in 1881 Armstrong recommended him as the principal of a new school called Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama. July 4, 1881 was the first day of school at Tuskegee Institute. It was a humble beginning, but under Washington's care both the school and Washington grew to be world famous. His school made lasting and profound contributions to the South and to the United States - such as through the work of one of its teachers - George Washington Carver . One of his main problems was always finding enough money. The support he received from the state was neither generous nor stable enough to build the kind of school he was developing. So he had to raise the money himself by going on speaking tours and solicitating donations. He received a lot of money from white northerners who were impressed with the work he was doing and his non-threatening racial views. Industrialists like Andrew Carnegie and John D. Rockefeller would donate money on a regular basis. It was these non-threatening racial views that gave Washington the appellation "The Great Accomodater". He believed that blacks should not push to attain equal civil and political rights with whites. That it was best to concentrate on improving their economic skills and the quality of their character. The burden of improvement resting squarely on the shoulders of the black man. Eventually they would earn the respect and love of the white man, and civil and political rights would be accrued as a matter of course. This was a very non-threatening and popular idea with a lot of whites.

Booker T. Washington Born into slavery, Booker T. Washington was the most prominent spokesperson for African Americans after the death of Frederick Douglass African Americans have criticized Washington for what they saw as his overly-deferential attitude to his white benefactors and for his position that university education was basically irrelevant for blacks, who should concentrate on vocational training. This, along with his acceptance of segregation, increasingly led W.E.B. Du Bois and other leaders to speak out against Washington. In October 1915 Washington collapsed while delivering a speech in New York City and was hospitalized. He asked to be returned home to die and was taken back to Tuskegee, where he died the next day at home on his beloved campus.

Library Booker T. Washington Dictionary Booker T. Washington Booker Taliaferro Washington was born as a slave in 1856 on the Burroughs tobacco farm in Hale's Ford, Virginia. He was the son of a cook, Jane, and a white man. After the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by Abraham Lincoln in 1863, Washington and his family had to wait until it was finally enforced in 1865. They then moved to Malden, West Virginia, where Washington worked packing salt. At the age of sixteen, Washington left home to attend Hampton Institute in Virginia. He went to night school and worked as a janitor to support himself. He then attended Wayland Seminary. After considering both law and theology as careers, he instead took a teaching position at Hampton. In 1881, when he was twenty-five years old, he moved to Tuskegee, Alabama. There he founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, which opened on July 4th, 1881 in a small church house with only thirty students. Washington spent the rest of life improving the school. "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)
