Education- Booker T. Washington, Alabama, Tuskegee, Tuskegee University

The monument at Tuskegee University to Booker T. Washington was dedicated in 1922. The monument became known as "Lifting the Veil." The inscription at its base reads, "He lifted the veil of ignorance from his people and pointed the way to progress through education and industry." At Tuskegee, Washington put into practice a program of industrial and vocational education. His goal was to ameliorate the economic conditions of blacks. In a speech at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta in 1895 Washington expressed the desire to cement the friendship of the races when he stated: "In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress." Washington did not advocate any form of integration, instead proposed a policy of mutual progress and cooperation. In the black community and to some extend the larger community, Washington's stance was view as pragmatic by some and was opposed by others. One of his outstanding critics was follow black educator William E. B Du Bois at Fisk University. To view a statue of William E. B. Du Bois and a brief narrative of his life and his philosophy of black education go to: flic.kr/p/wqsAgm
