 Booker Taliaferro Washington was birth on April 5, and dead in1856 – November 14, 1915) was an African-American educator, author, orator, advisor to Republican presidents, and black political leader. He was the dominant figure in the African-American community in the United States from 1890 to 1915. Representative of the last generation of black leaders born in slavery, he spoke on behalf of blacks living in the South.He worked and studied very hard and attended to college at Watland Seminary. He was first leader of the new Tuskegee Institute in Alabama and he became a popular spokesperson for African- American citizens. He built up a nationwide network for support and he fought for the vote rights.He was most effective leader of anything about Black communities. He tried very hard to support many black communities. He stood up to get African American's equal social rights and tried very hard to get set better educated schools for black people.

   He was a great man. I think he worked hard to achieve equality. He got up from the bottom and respect and remembrance. Its action to help people in need. "Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute became a monument to his life's work. At his death 34 years later, it had more than 100 well-equipped buildings, some 1,500 students, a faculty of nearly 200 teaching 38 trades and professions" he do a lot of work in his life and help to people after death.
