Booker T. Washington was a prominent African American educator, author, and political leader in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is best known for his advocacy of vocational education and economic self-reliance for African Americans, promoting the idea that they should focus on practical skills to improve their social and economic status. Washington founded the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, which became a leading institution for African American education. His approach emphasized gradual progress and accommodation, contrasting with the more confrontational strategies of other civil rights leaders like W.E.B. Du Bois.
