Maxinmaxine Smith's Unwilling Pupils: Lessons Learned in Memphis's Civil Rights Classroom
A great account of the life of Booker T Washington. Very formative and well written book about the struggles and triumphs that occured in his life time. All the things I didn't know about the man and I don't know that are well documented in contemporary history. It is a pity that W.E.B. DuBois and his associates were at odds with Booker Washington and his associates, but he was unable to be aware of the extent of the terrible conditions black Americans were living under at that time. He was truly a man of vision and a man of his time. In a wonderful way this book brings Booker Washington back into the light of time and history and how still even now he needs to be fully recognised for his efforts for all Americans. He worked hard and honestly to bring black and white Americans together and to live harmoniously.
