Title: Booker T. Washington and the struggle against white supremacy
Description: "From 1908 to 1912, Booker T. Washington, the preeminent African American leader of his day, won numerous followers and supporters by taking a series of "educational tours" through several states in the American South. Though often neglected by scholars, these tours played a critical role in the evolution of Washington's career. This regional study focuses on five of his major tours through Mississippi, Tennessee, North Carolina, Texas, and Florida, deemphasizing Washington's Rivalry with W.E.B. Du Bois while focusing on the more general objective of undermining white supremacy."--Jacket.
