Written by Emmett Jay Scott, who was Washington's personal secretary for over a decade, the book provides a detailed account of Washington's life and achievements.The book begins with Washington's early years as a slave in Virginia, and traces his journey to becoming one of the most influential figures in American history. It covers his education at Hampton Institute, his founding of the Tuskegee Institute, and his role in promoting education and economic advancement for African Americans.Scott also explores Washington's political and social views, including his controversial accommodationist stance towards segregation and his relationships with prominent figures such as W.E.B. Du Bois and Theodore Roosevelt.Throughout the book, Scott emphasizes Washington's commitment to hard work, self-reliance, and community building, and portrays him as a visionary leader who played a crucial role in shaping the course of American history.First published in 1916, Booker T. Washington: Builder Of A Civilization remains a classic work of African-American history and a testament to the enduring legacy of one of America's most remarkable leaders.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
