الكاتب: Booker T. Washington

  • Booker T. Washington (1856–1915) was an influential African American educator, author, orator, and advisor to multiple U.S. presidents. Born into slavery in Virginia, Washington rose to prominence through his relentless pursuit of education and advocacy for racial uplift through vocational training and self-reliance. He was the founding principal of Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University), which became a model for industrial and practical education. Washington's autobiography, "Up from Slavery", recounts his journey from bondage to becoming one of the most respected voices for African Americans during the post-Civil War era. His legacy continues to inspire discussions on education, leadership, and the fight for racial equality.
