Written soon after Booker T. Washington’s death in 1915 by his longtime secretary Emmett J. Scott and Lyman Beecher Stowe, this biography follows his work at Tuskegee, his farmers’ conferences, the county fairs he organised and the National Negro Business League he founded in 1900. Theodore Roosevelt contributes a preface.

An intimate, admiring record from those closest to Washington, valuable to anyone studying Black education and leadership. Download the free EPUB.
