Booker T. Washington embraced photography as the artistic medium to represent himself and Tuskegee Institute because it was economical, technical, utilitarian, and aesthetic: an apt form for a man who preached a gospel of thrift, industry, self-sufficiency, and beauty. Advancements in photography at the end of the nineteenth century allowed Washington to be simultaneously better known and more elusive—an international celebrity with a multitude of identities. This book examines how initially, Washington cultivated a picture of Victorian grace to appeal to elite white America's policy of gradual reform, and images of the economic and cultural results of Tuskegee's industrial curriculum became publicity photographs. But in the last decade of his life, he shed the passivity he had presented to the white world, speaking directly to black audiences through the cameras of black photographers, and challenging racist popular culture by visually demonstrating social and cultural equality.
