This is jocko podcast number 373 with echo Charles and me. I Was born a slave on a plantation in Franklin County, Virginia. My life had its beginning in the midst of the most miserable desolate and discouraging surroundings. It was so however not because my owners were especially cruel for they were not as compared with many others. In this cabin I lived with my mother and a brother and sister till after the Civil War when we were all declared free.
Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 – November 14, 1915)[1] was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African-American community and of the contemporary black elite.[2] Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
