Booker T. Washington and the Negro’s Place in American Life.


First edition, so stated. A profile of this famed educator, orator, author and activist. Spencer writes of Booker T. Washington, the establishment of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, and Washington’s creed that Black Americans needed to make a gradualistic approach to equality by, in part, becoming self-reliant by learning practical vocational skills.
