Washington, Booker Taliaferro

Born Apr. 5, 1856; died Nov. 14, 1915, in Tuskegee. American political figure; ideologist for the emerging Negro bourgeoisie.

In 1881, Washington became the director of the Industrial Institute for Negroes in Tuskegee (in the state of Alabama). In the 1890’s he put forward a program for training Negroes in agricultural sciences and trades. At the same time, he called upon Negroes to renounce the struggle for political and social rights and to voluntarily submit to the “superiority of the whites.” The reactionary character of Washington’s propaganda, which ideologically disarmed Negroes, became especially apparent with the beginning of the age of imperialism.
