- Born into slavery in Virginia in the mid-to-late 1850s, Booker T. Washington put himself through school and became a teacher after the Civil War. In 1881, he founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in Alabama (now known as Tuskegee University), which grew immensely and focused on training African Americans in agricultural pursuits. A political adviser and writer, Washington clashed with intellectual W.E.B. Du Bois over the best avenues for racial uplift. #Biography

Hero!
I think Booker T' Washington's Mother played more of a role in his life than most educators. She taught him Biblical principles. One of his greatest quotes proved he understood and operated by Biblical principles. "Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome. If you want to life yourself up, lift up someone else." ~ Booker T. Washington At least from a Jewish standpoint, that is my observation.
I would disagree Booker T Washington was the first black broker of power. Frederick Douglass was a mentor of Booker T Washington. Douglass was instrumental in advising five presidents, to include Lincoln, in passing the Emancipation Proclamation, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. There was a group of black politicians in Congress in the 1880s during the same time period Booker T Washington was starting. Without Douglass, Washington's progress for his people would not have been possible. Washington's very freedom came at the hands and voice of Douglass.
Please READ his book yourself as it's a totally different experience then listening to someone's biased take on him.
