Booker T. Washington Coin
Is Tribute to Great Negro
Prize Contribution
By Owen N. Roynor, IA
MoeFerlond Junior High School

There is new type of silver half
dollar circulating throughout the
country-the Booker T. Washington
5o-cent commemorative. Issued in
conjunction with Booker T. WASH
ington Day (February 28). it sells
at double it's face value; the extra
so cents going to a national fund
to raise money for memorial to
the great Negro educator at his
birthplace. For a country which
makes few changes in its currency,
this is in itself a great tribute.
Perhaps we can see why this Nation
owes so much to the humble son of
plantation slave by studying his
inspiring history.
Booker T. Washington was born
in tiny cabin on Virginia planta-
ton, April S, 1856. His family lived
in poverty, and when he was still
a child, they moved on into West
Virginia, where he had to work in
coal mines and on farms.
Builds School.
When he was II, he entered a
Negro school, working for his meals
and board. From then on, his pro-
fession was settled. He was to be
an educator. He became principal
of a new colored training school at
Tuskegee, Ala, which he and his
fellow teachers had to build up with
their own hands.
The school was a success, but
Washington was not satisfied with
his achievement. He wanted Negro
normal and industrial university
the first of its kind ever planned.
His earnest crusade for funds for
his school rapidly became known all
over the South.
