Did Booker T. Washington's philosophy and actions betray the interests of African Americans?
Booker T. Washington believed in accepting segregation and working within it. He did not want black people to ask for too much before white society was ready to change. So, he taught that black people should excel within their own society, and not be perceived by white people as too angry or too threatening. This was a problem for some black leaders of his era, who felt he was being too accommodating about racism; they accused him of trying too hard to get along with white segregationists. These black leaders felt that it was time for segregation to end, rather waiting patiently or learning to live with it. They wanted social change, and they believed they had been patient long enough.
Booker T. Washington, however, insisted his way made the most sense and caused the fewest problems. While he did not favor segregation, he felt that it was a part of life at that time, and black people should learn to succeed in spite of it. He continued to teach patience, and he promoted both self-reliance and education-- but he also advised black people to enter only those occupations where he felt they would be most likely to find work. While some black leaders objected to him, he was quite popular with many other black people, especially those who graduated from Tuskegee Institute, the school he had founded. Many white people also respected and admired him, but it seemed that was because he "knew his place" in a segregated society, and did not actively challenge the social order.
