# Booker T. Washington

Booker Taliaferro Washington (1856 – 1915) va ser un polític afroamericà estatunidenc.
Washington va ser de la darrera generació de líders afroamericans nascuts esclaus. Va estar en contra de les lleis discriminatòries contra els negres sorgides després de l'abolició de l'esclavisme.
Washington va ser partidari de l'African-American businesses i un dels fundadors de la National Negro Business League. La seva base va ser el Tuskegee Institute, un college d'Alabama. Com els linxaments al Sud dels Estats Units van arribar al seu màxim el 1895, Washington va fer el discurs conegut com a "Atlanta compromise", la qual cosa li va donar fama nacional. Va ser partidari de canviar la situació dels afroamericans via l'educació.
