- Booker T. Washington (1856-1915)
Educator, orator, and author
Born a slave in Virginia, at age 16 Booker T. Washington walked 500 miles to attend Hampton Institute (now Hampton University). He later founded Tuskegee Institute.
He once said, "If no other consideration had convinced me of the value of the Christian life, the Christ-like work which the Church of all denominations in America has done during the last 35 years for the elevation of the black man would have made me a Christian."
