Encyclopedia Washington, Booker Taliaferro Washington, Booker Taliaferro, Hampton Univ. ), he was given charge of the training of 75 Native Americans, under the guidance of Gen. S. C. Armstrong . He later developed the night school. In 1881 he was chosen to organize a normal and industrial school for African Americans at Tuskegee, Ala. Under his direction, Tuskegee Institute (see Tuskegee Univ. ) became one of the leading African-American educational institutions in America. Its programs emphasized industrial training as a means to self-respect and economic independence for black people. Washington gave many lectures in the interests of his work, both in the United States and in Europe, and he was counted among the ablest public speakers of his time. In 1895 at Atlanta, Ga., Washington made a highly controversial speech on the place of the African American in American life. In it he maintained that it was foolish for blacks to agitate for social equality before they had attained economic equality. His speech pleased many whites and gained financial support for his school, but his position was denounced by many African-American leaders, among them W. E. B. Du Bois . Washington was the organizer (1900) of the National Negro Business League, a group committed to black economic independence. He received honorary degrees from Dartmouth and Harvard. Among his many published works are his autobiography

Booker T. Washington b. Booker Taliaferro Educator. Born a slave on a small farm in western Virginia, Washington was nine years old when the Civil War ended. His humble but stern rearing included his working in a salt furnace when he was 10 and serving as a houseboy for a white family where he first learned the virtues of frugality, cleanliness, and personal morality. Washington was educated at Hampton Institute, one of the earliest freedmen's schools devoted to industrial education (Hampton was the model upon which he later based his institute in Tuskegee). Growing up during Reconstruction and imbued with moral, as opposed to intellectual, training, he came to believe that postwar social uplift had begun at the wrong end: the acquisition of political and civil rights rather than economic self-determination. The foremost black educator, power broker, and institution builder of his time, Washington, in 1881, founded Tuskegee Institute, a black school in Alabama devoted to industrial and moral education and to the training of public school teachers. From his southern small-town base, he created a national political network of schools, newspapers, and the National Negro Business League (founded in 1901). In response to the age of Jim Crow, Washington offered the doctrine of accommodation, acquiescing in social and political inequality for blacks while training them for economic self-determination in the industrial arts. Growing black and white opposition to Washington's acquiescence in disfranchisement and Jim Crow led to the formation of the Niagara Movement (1905-1909) and the NAACP activist organizations working for civil and political rights as well as against lynching. Ironically, Washington also labored secretly against Jim Crow laws and racial violence, writing letters in code names and protecting blacks from lynch mobs, though these efforts were rarely known in his own time.

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.
