Washington, educator/head of the old Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. It covers the institutes governing ideals, resources and material equipment, academic aims, and topics such as what girls are taught. It addresses short stories about the school's president, principal [and graduate success stories from a lawyer, farmer, wheelwright, blacksmith, shoemaker, etc.]. Photos feature executives, staff, library building, silo on the farm, dairy, hospital, tin shop, and more. One of the goals of the book was to address graduates of the famous institute and what they did after their academic education, especially during a period when African-Americans weren't appreciated or accepted by many of the whites in business and professions. Tuskegee sought from the beginning to make itself of practical value to African-American students. Very insightful and historical.
