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)

He was the dominant figure in the African American community in the United States from 1890 to 1915. He was representative of the last generation of black leaders born in slavery and spoke on behalf of blacks living in the South. Washington was able throughout the final 25 years of his life to maintain his standing as the major black leader because of the sponsorship by powerful whites, substantial support within the black community, his ability to raise educational funds from both groups, and his accommodation to the social realities of the age of Jim Crow segregation Washington was born into slavery to a white father and a slave mother in a rural area in southwestern Virginia . After emancipation, he worked in

Home Email Search Author ... Index Page Booker Taliaferro was born a mulatto slave in Franklin Country on 5th April, 1856. His father was an unknown white man and his mother, the slave of James Burroughs, a small farmer in Virginia. Later, his mother married the slave, Washington Ferguson. When Booker entered school he took the name of his stepfather and became known as Booker T. Washington. After the Civil War the family moved to Malden, West Virginia. Ferguson worked in the salt mines and at the age of nine Booker found employment as a salt-packer. A year later he became a coal miner (1866-68) before going to work as a houseboy for the wife of Lewis Ruffner, the owner of the mines. She encouraged Booker to continue his education and in 1872 he entered the Hampton Agricultural Institute. The principal of the institute was Samuel Armstrong, an opponent of slavery who had been commander of African American troops during the Civil War . Armstrong believed that it was important that the freed slaves received a practical education. Armstrong was impressed with Washington and arranged for his tuition to be paid for by a wealthy white man. Armstrong became Washington's mentor. Washington described Armstrong in his autobiography as "a great man - the noblest rarest human being it has ever been my privilege to meet". Armstrong's views of the development of character and morality and the importance of providing African Americans with a practical education had a lasting impact on Washington's own philosophy.

Source Born: 5 April 1856 Birthplace: Franklin County, Virginia Died: 14 November 1915 Best Known As: First head of the Tuskegee Institute Born a slave and deprived of any early education, Booker Taliaferro Washington nonetheless became America's foremost black educator of the early 20th century. He was the first teacher and principal of the Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama, a school for African-Americans where he championed vocational training as a means for black self-reliance. A well-known orator, Washington also wrote a best-selling autobiography ( Up From Slavery , 1901) and advised Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Taft on race relations. His rather flaccid nickname of "The Great Accommodator" provides a clue as to why he was later criticized by W. E. B. Du Bois and the N.A.A.C.P. Washington was principal of Tuskegee Institute from 1881 until his death in 1915; it was originally called the Normal School for Colored Teachers and is now known as Tuskegee University. Washington's middle name was Taliaferro... According to the Tuskegee University website, Washington was married three times: to Fannie Smith from 1882 until her death in 1884; to Olivia Davis, from 1885 until her death in 1889; and Margaret Murray, from 1893 until his death in 1915... He was unrelated to President

African American Odyssey Introduction Overview Object List Search Exhibit Sections: Slavery Free Blacks Abolition Civil War ... Reconstruction Booker T. Washington Era WWI-Post War The Depression-WWII Civil Rights Era The Booker T. Washington Era Part 1: African American Soldiers Education, Economic and Social Progress Part 2 The 1870s to the start of World War I, the period when African American educator Booker T. Washington was gaining prominence, was also a difficult time for African Americans. The vote proved elusive and civil rights began to vanish through court action. Lynching, racial violence, and slavery's twin children peonage and sharecropping arose as deadly quagmires on the path to full citizenship. After Reconstruction ended in 1877, the federal government virtually turned a deaf ear to the voice of the African American populace. Yet in this era blacks were educated in unprecedented numbers, hundreds received degrees from institutions of higher learning, and a few, like W.E.B. DuBois and Carter G. Woodson, went on for the doctorate. While only a small percentage of the black population had been literate at the close of the Civil War, by the turn of the twentieth century, the majority of all African Americans were literate. The Library of Congress houses the papers of three presidents of Tuskegee Institute: Booker T. Washington, Robert Russa Moton, and Frederick Douglass Patterson, and other important manuscripts and photographs relating to the establishment, operations, aspirations, and success of historically black colleges and universities.
