    Booker T. Washington was born into slavery in 1856 and worked from a young age before gaining an education. He attended Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute of Virginia and founded Tuskegee Normal School in 1881 with $2000 from the Alabama State Legislature. The school trained African Americans in practical skills like farming, teaching them character development and work ethic. Under Washington's leadership over 25 years, Tuskegee grew from $2000 to over $831,895 in property and enrolled 1500 students annually, establishing Washington as an influential leader for African Americans in the post-Civil War era.

    Havingthe knowledge of how


    to live, how to cultivate the soil,
    how to husband their resources
    and make the most of their
    opportunities
    (Washington qt in Establishing a Legacy)

    "The wisest of my race understand that


    the agitation of questions of social
    equality is the extremest folly and that
    progress in the enjoyment of all the
    privileges that will come to us must be
    the result of severe and constant
    struggle rather than artificial forcing. The
    opportunity to earn a dollar in a factory
    just now is worth infinitely more than to
    spend a dollar in an opera house.
