Booker T. Washington: What's a Heaven For? Born into slavery in the 1850s, Booker T. Washington eagerly persued an education, eventually going on to head the Tuskegee Institute. He was the voice for the African American community in the late 1800's t...hrough the early 1900's. This biography of his life is presented through art montage. Good quotes to give a better picture of this man's remarkable accomplishments. Great teaching resource for Civil Rights, American History, and Slavery. (17:00)

This video from The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow identifies two major leaders in the African American community during the era of Jim Crow: Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois. By the turn of the 20th century, Washington was an incredibly popular fi...gure who, among many accomplishments, had become the leader of the Tuskegee Institute and started the National Business League. Washington maintained that African Americans could achieve economic progress and spiritual growth but only by accepting the confines of Jim Crow. Du Bois, on the other hand, attacked Washington’s methodology publicly and emphasized the importance of intellectual rigor and equality for African Americans in all aspects of American life, with no exceptions. Nowhere were his verbal assaults on Washington as strong as in his 1903 book The Souls of Black Folk. Run time 03:28.

This four minute video does not have narration and the titling is a bit tedious, but the contents help explain these two Black heroes as competitors. There is a question at the end that the students should be told to prepare for. Easy for most studen...ts, but the music may be a bit off-putting to some.
