Next, mers he University Professor Chester Fontenot examines the life and legacy of booker t. Washington. He talks about washingtons early years at Tuskegee University and looked at his ideological platform which encouraged africanamericans to establish their own economic base while washington helped create many institutions for africanamericans such as the National Negro Business League, he also had opposition to his ideas, both during his lifetime and since. Fontenot also compared ideas and tactics of booker t. Washington and mgartin luther king jr. I made a statement in class that many of you disagreed with when i said that booker t. Washington was the most important and the most influential africanamerican leader until the election of president barack obama. He is even more significant in some ways because booker t.

She told him that the only way president wilson you can understand what this thing is like for my people is for to you wear a face that is black or brown. So i thought wow wow. I thought what was going through wilsons mind . He idolized the southern white woman. He scorned people like ida wills barnett. I thought what was going on in wilsons mind when she was thinking . I would like to see his face. I would like to see his face when trotter was speaking to him but especially when barnett was speaking to him. Wilsons own transcriber attributed those remarks to trotter. I went back and found trotters newspaper and a lot of other people and speeches and everything and barnett had said those remarks. I wonder if charles swim did that on purpose. I dont know. Im wondering how trotter and other leaders in this protest against reintroduction of jim crow in the federal g
