Washington: The Wizard of Tuskegee 1901-1915, by Louis R. Harlan (read 18 Jan 1994) This book is not chronological, but I found it well worth reading. I had not heard of the beating Washington got in New York in 1911, and an entire chapter is devoted to that incident. It is a questionable affair and one wonders what he was doing at the building where the incident began. This book shows that after Wilson was elected in 1912 Booker became a little less sheep-like. Wilson was a white supremacist segregationist, and Washington had little to do with Booker then. I would like to go to Tuskegee, Ala., and see his school. I wonder what it is like today.

The first volume of Louis R. Harlan's biography of Booker T. Washington was published to wide acclaim and won the 1973 Bancroft Prize. This, the second volume, completes one of the most significant biographies of this generation. Booker T. Washington was the most powerful black American of his time, and here he is captured at his zenith. Harlan reveals Washington's complex personality--in sharp contrast to his public demeanor, he was a ruthless power borker whose nod or frown could determine the careers of blacks inpolitics, education, and business. Harlan chronicles the challenge Washington faced from W.E.B. Du Bois and other blacks, and shows how growing opposition forced him to change his methods of leadership just before his death in 1915.
