Author: Sherry Helms
“We do not want the men of another color for our brothers-in-law, but we do want them for our brothers” – Booker T Washington
Today is the Birth Anniversary of a man who was born in a black family of the 19th century America, but to be a leader, not a slave. We are talking about Booker T. Washington, an African-American educator, author, orator and black political leader.
Despite being born in slavery, he managed to percolate from all the miseries of blacks in the contemporary America and became the most influential spokesman and a dominant figure in both the black and white communities. Throughout his lifetime, he spoke on behalf of blacks living in the South. He became the first Afro-American to receive honorary degrees from Harvard and Dartmouth and had dinner with heads of state.
Whilst being the most powerful voice for African-American community in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th century, Mr. Washington authored a number of books reflecting the tribulations and dilemmas that the Negros, especially, American Negros, had to muddle through in a country of white people ridden with racism. All of his books are based on his experiences as a black, including an autobiography, “Up From Slavery”, which has gained high level of both the appreciation and criticism, all at once. His other popular books are The Future of the American Negro and Character Building.
