About
The primary voice of the African American community from 1890 to 1915, and the author of Up from Slavery, Booker T. Washington was an educator and orator as well as a founder of the Alabama school that developed into Tuskegee University. Washington proposed that most African Americans would benefit from a practical trade rather than a liberal arts education — a position opposed by other black leaders, including W. E. B. Dubois, and the source of a debate that lingers to this day. In this autobiographical work, Washington discusses how he arrived at his views on race relations, focusing on the importance of cooperation and teamwork and describing the experiences that led to the founding of Tuskegee.

“I invite you to read My Larger Education by Booker T. Washington, which documents this. I invite you to read The Pittsburgh Courier, specifically the writings of George Schuyler, who was a northerner and who had this kind of hostile view of the South until he visited.”
