His father was a white man of unknown origin. His mother was a cook for a tobacco plantation and I don't think she was a slave because she moved to West Virginia where Booker T worked in a coal mine and went to school. However in those days she was probably considered a slave, but everybody loved her cooking. Someone else can correct me if I am wrong...
