Booker T's Library       

In addition to being CEO ('Chief Executive Officer') of Tuskegee Normal & Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University), Booker T. Washington founded and presided over The National Negro Business League, advised three U.S. Presidents (Teddy Roosevelt, Howard Taft, and William McKinley), travelled all over the country and Europe and became just about the most famous orator of his time.

He also wrote over a dozen books and countless newspaper and magazine articles. When did Booker T. find time to write so much?

Back in Booker T.s pre-computer day, info was categorized and listed in card catalogs. Open a drawer to access many of his works.

However, such wide fame and acclaim also aroused baser instincts in others; resentful men, as jealous of his power and influence as they were impatient with his forgiving philosophy.

Those criticisms either made about Dr. Washington or the promise his ideas have for us all today are located in the misc tray.
