The CONTROVERSIAL History of Booker T. Washington -

This video discusses the complex legacy of Booker T Washington as a leader of African Americans.
Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) was born into slavery, walked 500 miles to the Hampton Institute, became a teacher, and founded Tuskegee University and rose to become a leader of African American during the early 20th century. Washington advised Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. His infamous conflicts with black leaders like W. E. B. Du Bois over segregation caused a stir in his day, but he is most remembered as the most influential African American speakers of his time.

Booker T Washington was more of a conservative. He didn’t care to worry and fight the oppressors. He looked to build and contribute the community. He knew how important it was for us to educate and begin self sufficiency for ourselves.

[@UlrichW-mm8yz]

YES!

[@noonesishome]

Imagine how great the modern black community would be if we followed Mr Washington's way of building.

[@KOMET2006]

Booker T. Washington saw no point in African Americans agitating for social and political equality as Jim Crow racial segregation was taking firm hold in the U.S. in the 1890s. Thus he looked the other way while the white racist power structure in the South oppressed, brutalized, and murdered African Americans therein.

[@GoldSkye]

Self sufficiency is fighting for self. Begging to be included and chasing degrees only work but so much.

[@leondarnell1]

I"m a HUGE fan of Booker T Washington. I really enjoyed this video because it was very fair and presented him in an objective light. It's easy to criticize him for being too conservative in race relations BUT let's not forget he was also creating a black university in the deep South, right after slavery. Great job.

[@kridler112]

Right? All “progressives” I hear call him coon and a trader to his race… unreal, God rest his soul

[@dennismagee9555]

WEB Dubois vs. Booker T Washington is like Malcolm X vs. Martin Luther King Jr.

[@Weduboey]

Very similar work on your analogy though

[@dennismagee9555]

@Ivan Drago How? the similarity is the analogy? What is your point? you are not making any sense. The commonality is that both disagreed on how to handle the racial problem in America. You need to work your analogy.

[@Imissyoulou]

In some ways yes, in some ways, no. Malcolm X and King, both wanted FREEDOM, they just had different ways of getting it. Booker, wanted us to stay in the kitchen, learn a trade, or stay in the fields. WEB, wanted Blacks in the professions.

[@Weduboey]

@@dennismagee9555 lol if thats the only commonality you can see thats a false equivocation but ill give you a pass this is alr

[@dennismagee9555]

@@Weduboey HOW IS IT THEY BOTH HAVE DIFFERENT VIEWS ON CIVIL RIGHTS!!!! THEY ARE BOTH LEADERS AND BOTH SAW HOW THE ISSUE OF RACISM DIFFERENT!!! THAT IS THE COMMONALITY ON BOOKER AND DUBOIS AND MARTIN AND MALCOLM I GUESS YOU CAN'T SEE IT LOGICALLY SO I GIVE YOU A PASS!!!!

[@Nancybee1000]

Tuskegee native with a degree from Atlanta University. After learning about both men in great detail all my educational career, the truth is Black people are not a monolith and our views are as varied as our shades of color.

[@MechTech24]

Honestly both approaches simultaneously is needed. To be self sustaining and respectful of others but also politically inclined to defend values and unite for strength

[@tannerholechek5873]

Thank you for making these videos. It's incredibly hard to find thorough and accurate lectures on a lot of these topics. I appreciate all the hard work you put into creating these videos.

[@pethead7117]

We would be in control of America had we listened to Booker T Washington. And planned 200 years ahead

Civil Rights Movement didn't begin in '50s, it REVIVED in '50s. Its roots can be traced all the way back to colonial era when colonials wanted to free their slaves, but the King Of England forbade it. Also see the advent of abolitionist movement(s) under Ben Franklin in PA followed by men like Douglas & Garrison, or the "Radical" Republicans Stevens & Sumner. The Underground Railroad & many abolitionist supporters who were engaged & the reconstruction era that followed Civil War.

[@karaheem02]

Love the content

[@gabrielchristian3981]

Well done!

[@Imissyoulou]

Please, please, please, please. When Booker died, Ida B. Wells, said, "This closes the dark era of Civil Rights."

Booker T Washington all day EVERYDAY!!!!

Real Talk

[@GoldSkye]

Dubois had it wrong. Booker had it right.

[@rayray5561]

Booker was the man and had the better plan😎

[@victorjohnson4971]

I think no matter which way we went Du Bois or Washington we would still be in the same position today

[@claydobbins9342]

The man's name is properly pronounced: du bwah. It is a French surname from which part of his ancestry derives.

[@MYWonderfulRBWorld01]

@claydobbins9342 OK, "du bwah," by any other name, is still an idiot. Also note that "du bwah," is a Haitian immigrant who didn't even try to help his fellow Haitians; and look where they are now. Why didn't "du bwah," take his ideas to Haiti? Was he paid by whites to derail the progress we were making under Booker T? (If that wasn't his intention, that was the result. And Malcolm X's "more radical" stance only succeeded in getting large swaths of Black American communities burned to the ground. That might not have been Malcolm's intent; but his "radical," rhetoric caused that result. So, the next time you uplift a "radical," in America, ask yourself, "Is he/she trying to keep us safe in the face of change? Or will his/her rhetoric get us all killed or cause the destruction of our communities? I'm just saying this, because I don't reason in "sound bites.," Everything I say is backed by both history and the outcomes.

[@alphonsomorris793]

​@@MYWonderfulRBWorld01Hmmm, bars, I didn't even think about that part with Malcolm X. You right an exact. But Dubois wasn't a Haitian immigrant.

[@rogermoore27]

People need to learn about Haskalah

[@GrxndDxD]

Booker T Washington giving me that Yacub vibes. I always worry about the motives of someone who was picked on or ostracized by his own race as a child/young man.

[@SharkOrDie]

Both men were right! FBA B1

[@mannykiller]

I live near a public housing apt building name after this guy apparently in Virginia lmao

[@chicfini]

He played no part🙄🙄🙄, why did you say it like that? As if he could have but didn't, smfh

[@michaelreynolds8204]

Your analysis is wrong Washington was continuously popular his entire life. Read books not biased against him the anti Washington perspective is dominant today due to historians who favor Dubois Dubois was not popular and well known in his lifetime Seriously Duboises got kicked out of the NAaCp because he Seasiders self segregation can be positive. Duboise was a good historian and was friends with other historians Also Duboise constantly took credit for others works Search Duboise and plaserism The niagra movement was 35 guys then later less than 200 members 300 children a year in the 1920s were named after Booker t Washington Your video shows a Dubois slant which is ridiculous but Duboise did a great job befriending Ivy League people most responsible for history books BOOKER t was the most popular African American amongst African Americans in his day he had no equals except jack johnson

[@drapetomania2156]

Cmon, Booker T was a sellout Sambo no matter how you try to twist.

[@Imissyoulou]

That was in the South. Booker was hated on the east coast. William Monroe Trotter, took the microphone from him during one of his speeches, that was about the glory of the South. Additionally, when Booker died, MANY of the Blacks that supported him, had turned against him and that stay in the white man's kitchen philosphy. Do some reading. Deep reading.

[@itsbeyondme5560]

What. Washington is unpopular
