Booker T. Washington

Booker T. Washington (1856–1915) was a former slave and an African American leader who founded the Tuskegee Institute, a school for African Americans in Alabama, in 1881. Washington urged African Americans to focus on achieving economic independence rather than civil rights. He believed that African Americans would be better off earning white respect gradually by demonstrating their capabilities than challenging white supremacy and agitating for political and social equality.
