Reviews
“By bringing together in one volume the contributions of these scholars and other equally provocative contributions, this book is bound to keep alive the on-going debate on the relevance of the Washingtonian legacy well into the new millennium.” – Johnson A. Adefila
“A subject matter like Booker T. Washington is one of the few in African American History that has been looked at until it almost has been over researched, but this volume still leaves the reader refreshed and raises new questions as to how a man from such humble beginnings rose to where he did rise. Was it simply an appeasement of white folks or did he truly mean to help black folks with his style of leadership ... the volume was very good reading.” – Howard Jones
