r T. Washington was born into slavery, but freed as a child. He became educated, and was one of the first black men to promote education among the African-American population. During the early 1900's he was a key figure in the early Civil Rights Movement, advocating fellow African-Americans to join the workforce and become educated in order to have a greater impact on society, and thereby gain equality over time. One of his famous statements about his belief that civil rights would come by hard work and education is "It is at the bottom of life that we must begin, not at the top." Around this same time, the NAACP was formed and men like W.E.B. Dubois were advocating civil rights protests to gain equality immediately, and labeled Washington "The Great Accommodator". However, Washington stood firm, believing that cooperation with white men in power was a better way to overcome racism in the long run than confrontation. Booker T's stance gave him the support of many white politicians and philanthropists, allowing him to further his cause of education for African Americans. Because of his accomplishments in being one of the first leaders to attempt to bring the races together, Washington was honored with being the first African American invited to the White House, the first pictured on a postage stamp, and has had dozens of schools around the nation named after him.
