Washington (1856–1915) was an influential African American educator, author, and orator. Born into slavery, he became the first principal of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute (now Tuskegee University) and played a significant role in the education and upliftment of African Americans. Washington believed in the importance of vocational and industrial education for Black people, emphasizing the acquisition of practical skills to attain economic security and eventually gain respect and acceptance from the white community. His approach, encapsulated in the Atlanta Compromise speech, was criticized by some, including W.E.B. Du Bois, for its emphasis on vocational training over academic development and civil rights. Despite this, Washington's influence was substantial, and he remains a key figure in African American history.
