25. Booker T. Washington: Address To Atlanta Exposition, 1895 Speech on a better approach to healthy race relations. http://pages.prodigy.net/krtq73aa/booker.htm

Wise Counsel, Tragically Ignored! Booker T. Washington Addresses 1895 Atlanta Exposition A Better Approach To Healthy Race Relations [The following address, by a great, self-educated, Negro educator, is significant in a number of particulars. First, it applies the wisdom of the Founding Fathers, in formulating our Federal Union, to relations between the major races who inhabit our lands. And it does so in an easily grasped metaphor: In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress. Is that not precisely the unstated concept, which the Fathers accepted in drafting and ratifying the Constitution for a Federal Republic to oversee those limited areas delineated, on which we were to be "one as the hand," while allowing Puritans in New England, Cavaliers in Virginia and the Carolinas, Quakers in Pennsylvania, Patroons in the Hudson Valley and New Jersey, descendants of transported convicts in part of Georgia, as well as the great Planters of the deep South, and diverse folk across the Union, to each maintain a distinct culture and identity? Secondly, it clearly defines the path to racial progress. The course, which Washington urges for his people, has been the basic course for human progress among all peoples. Contrast, this rational path to a better life, coupled with Washington's appeal to ancestral trust-based ties between the races of the Old South, with the ugly confrontational approach of the NAACP. The latter, set up by White Fabian Socialists to oppose Washington's influence and launch what led to the "Civil Rights" movement, replaced the plea for personal responsibility and self-improvement with a demand for Federal intervention, coercion and dependence on a Government that subsidizes poverty. The result has been an explosion in illegitimacy and crime, coupled with a self-destructive tendency to seek to justify failure by blaming the success of others for every frustration.

By National Parks Service Mar 28, 2006, 14:59 Email this article Printer friendly page Courtesy of the Library of Congress Booker T. Washington recalled his childhood in his autobiography, Up From Slavery. He was born in 1856 on the Burroughs tobacco farm which, despite its small size, he always referred to as a "plantation." His mother was a cook, his father a white man from a nearby farm. "The early years of my life, which were spent in the little cabin," he wrote, "were not very different from those of other slaves." In one respect he had come full circle, back to earning his living by menial tasks. Yet his entrance to Hampton led him away from a life of forced labor for good. He became an instructor there. Later, as principal and guiding force behind Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, which he founded in 1881, he became recognized as the nation's foremost black educator. Washington the public figure often invoked his own past to illustrate his belief in the dignity of work. "There was no period of my life that was devoted to play," Washington once wrote. "From the time that I can remember anything, almost everyday of my life has been occupied in some kind of labor." This concept of self-reliance born of hard work was the cornerstone of Washington's social philosophy.

Booker Taliaferro Washington was the foremost black educator of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He also had a major influence on southern race relations and was the dominant figure in black public affairs from 1895 until his death in 1915. Born a slave on a small farm in the Virginia backcountry, he moved with his family after emancipation to work in the salt furnaces and coal mines of West Virginia. After a secondary education at Hampton Institute, he taught an upgraded school and experimented briefly with the study of law and the ministry, but a teaching position at Hampton decided his future career. In 1881 he founded Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute on the Hampton model in the Black Belt of Alabama. Though Washington offered little that was innovative in industrial education, which both northern philanthropic foundations and southern leaders were already promoting, he became its chief black exemplar and spokesman. In his advocacy of Tuskegee Institute and its educational method, Washington revealed the political adroitness and accommodationist philosophy that were to characterize his career in the wider arena of race leadership. He convinced southern white employers and governors that Tuskegee offered an education that would keep blacks "down on the farm" and in the trades. To prospective northern donors and particularly the new self- made millionaires such as Rockefeller and Carnegie he promised the inculcation of the Protestant work ethic. To blacks living within the limited horizons of the post- Reconstruction South, Washington held out industrial education as the means of escape from the web of sharecropping and debt and the achievement of attainable

Washington Advanced Search Biography Quizzes Forum Discussions Booker T. Washington (1856?-1915) , educator, race leader and author, founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in Alabama. The first of three of Washington's autobiographies, Up From Slavery: An Autobiography (1901) is a poignant memoir from Washington's early days of slavery on a plantation and his emancipation at the age of nine. Washington would go on to be the single-most powerful influence to disenchanted young blacks Nationwide. He was a powerful presence and self-made man, leading the way for future leader Martin Luther King Jr. Booker Taliaferro was born a slave on 5 April, possibly in the year 1856, near Hale's Ford in Franklin County, Virginia, in a ramshackle one-room cabin on a tobacco farm owned by James Burroughs. It is not known who his white father was, but he took no responsibility for him. His mother's name was Jane, who was a farm cook and a pious woman who prayed for freedom from slavery every day. She married another slave, Washington Ferguson, and Washington was added to Booker's name. Although his mother was illiterate, early on she encouraged Booker to read. At the time it was illegal to educate slaves in schools so Washington's only exposure to them was by carrying Burroughs’s daughters' books to school for them. In 1865 the Emancipation Proclamation was read and young Booker, his half-sister and half-brother moved with their mother to Malden, West Virginia. His step-father, after escaping during the Civil War, had found work in a mine. Washington worked in a salt mine, then a coal mine in the mornings and evenings to make up for the time he spent in school during the day.
