About This Design

Booker Washington: African American Educator Pocket Watch

Booker Washington: African American Educator Pocket Watch

Booker Taliaferro Washington, born into slavery in 1856, rose to become a prominent African American leader and educator. After the Civil War, he pursued education, attending class at Hampton, Agricultural and Wayland Seminary. - In 1881, Washington founded the Tuskegee in Alabama, a school dedicated to vocational training for African Americans. He believed in economic self-sufficiency and practical skills as a path to social and political advancement. Tuskegee became a model for African American education and a center of innovation in agriculture and industry. - Washington was a powerful orator and advocate for racial progress. His most famous speech, the "Atlanta Compromise," delivered in 1895, outlined his philosophy of accommodation and self-help. While this approach was criticized by some for its acceptance of segregation, it gained him significant influence and allowed him to negotiate with white leaders on behalf of African Americans. - Washington's legacy is complex. He is remembered for his contributions to education and economic development, but also for his accommodationist stance on racial issues. His impact on the African American community and American society as a whole continues to be debated and analyzed.

I got the Pocket watch for my Husband's birthday, to be honest I was on a budget and needed a nice gift for the money. So when I seen Zazzle was affordable, I was going for it. I read other reviews and they said it was nice quality but when it arrived, I was so happy with the watch. It's beautiful! I chose a really sentimental photo to make his gift extra special. I opened it up to see it printed and centered perfect!!! He loved it so much he cried! Thank you Zazzle!
