Over three years, NETC focused during Black History Month upon the life and works of Booker T. Washington who was a prominent African American educator, author, and orator, born into slavery.
Washington became one of the most influential leaders of his time, advocating for vocational education and economic self-reliance for African Americans.
Washington was the founder of the Tuskegee Institute, a leading educational institution for African Americans. His philosophy of gradualism and accommodationism shaped the early civil rights movement in the United States.
