THIS PIECE IS HISTORICAL.
"Why is the Tuskegee Institute Important?
Tuskegee Institute, founded by Washington, was the first institution of higher learning for African Americans; Washington came under pressure from critics who viewed him as an accommodationist because they felt he de-emphasized racism, racial violence against blacks, and discrimination."
"Booker T. Washington opened Tuskegee in 1881, under his belief that “vocational and instructional skills could produce economic gains, which, in turn, would be instrumental in the struggle to achieve political and civil rights.”
