Booker T. Washington: Savior or "Sellout?"

From the Paper:

"Thus, Mr. Washington became one of the first Black success stories. Not only was he an educated ex-slave, but he also helped to build one of the first black colleges. He had bettered himself and seemingly uplifted his community within his lifetime. But had he? As the success of his academic institution arose, so did his prominence as a public speaker and a representative of the black community. Though many of his actions helped his community, what of his public speeches? Were they more harmful than beneficial? Has there been a legacy of indifference of white America left due in part to Booker's nonchalance at slavery and his own condemnation of black people? "
