EMBED THIS CLIP |
Title Description Booker T. Washington's autobiography describes his rise from slavery to national eminence as an educator. Born in 1856, the son of a slave woman and a white man, he became the most influential African-American leader of his time in the United States. Washington founded the Tuskegee Institute, a vocational school for African-Americans in Alabama. An advisor on racial problems and policies for two presidents -- Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft -- he helped make possible the early appointment of several African-Americans to federal office.
