Autorenporträt
Booker Taliaferro Washington was an influential American educator, author, and orator, recognized for his leadership in the African-American community from 1890 until his death in 1915. Born on April 5, 1856, in Hale's Ford, Virginia, Washington was the son of Washington Ferguson and Jane Ferguson, both former slaves. He attended Hampton University and later Wayland Seminary, which shaped his vision for the education and empowerment of African Americans. Washington became the most prominent Black leader of his time, serving as the head of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where he emphasized the importance of vocational training and industrial education for African Americans. His efforts focused on fostering economic independence and improving race relations, advocating for a practical approach to education that would prepare Black Americans for skilled labor and contribute to societal respect. Washington was married to Margaret Murray Washington, with whom he had three children: Ernest Davidson Washington, Booker T. Washington Jr., and Portia M. Washington. He passed away on November 14, 1915, in Tuskegee, Alabama, leaving a lasting legacy in education and race relations.
