- This video discusses the complex legacy of Booker T Washington as a leader of African Americans.
Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) was born into slavery, walked 500 miles to the Hampton Institute, became a teacher, and founded Tuskegee University and rose to become a leader of African American during the early 20th century. Washington advised Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. His infamous conflicts with black leaders like W. E. B. Du Bois over segregation caused a stir in his day, but he is most remembered as the most influential African American speakers of his time.

WEB Dubois vs. Booker T Washington is like Malcolm X vs. Martin Luther King Jr.
I"m a HUGE fan of Booker T Washington. I really enjoyed this video because it was very fair and presented him in an objective light. It's easy to criticize him for being too conservative in race relations BUT let's not forget he was also creating a black university in the deep South, right after slavery. Great job.
Civil Rights Movement didn't begin in '50s, it REVIVED in '50s. Its roots can be traced all the way back to colonial era when colonials wanted to free their slaves, but the King Of England forbade it. Also see the advent of abolitionist movement(s) under Ben Franklin in PA followed by men like Douglas & Garrison, or the "Radical" Republicans Stevens & Sumner. The Underground Railroad & many abolitionist supporters who were engaged & the reconstruction era that followed Civil War.
Booker T Washington was more of a conservative. He didn’t care to worry and fight the oppressors. He looked to build and contribute the community. He knew how important it was for us to educate and begin self sufficiency for ourselves.
Booker was the man and had the better plan😎
Please, please, please, please. When Booker died, Ida B. Wells, said, "This closes the dark era of Civil Rights."
I think no matter which way we went Du Bois or Washington we would still be in the same position today
He played no part🙄🙄🙄, why did you say it like that? As if he could have but didn't, smfh
