Question

Booker T. Washington is noted for which of the following?

Answer 1

Booker T. Washington is noted for being a prominent African-American educator, author, and leader in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He advocated for the education and economic empowerment of African-Americans and was the founder of the Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) in Alabama. Washington is also known for his "Atlanta Compromise" speech in 1895, in which he urged African-Americans to work towards economic progress and self-reliance rather than directly challenging segregation and discrimination.
