and so booker t. washington served as really the first black presidential adviser on behalf of people of african descent, as well as american indians. so, washington is very, very important in this respect. also, president roosevelt roosevelt's wife were frequent visitors to tuskegee institute. not only the president -- president roosevelt, but many dignitaries. one of the reasons why and the primary reason why washington was able to amass such a large endowment for tuskegee institute is because his funding primarily came from liberal, white people who were very, very rich. the rockefellers, in fact. the carnegies what is now the rockefeller foundation and carnegie foundation but during that era they were leaving and breathes people who founded these companies, were in fact contributors and supporters of tuskegee institute. and so, we have it here a picture of theodore roosevelt, president theodore roosevelt with booker t. washington at tuskegee, you know, institute. this is a controversial picture of booker t.

they hated that about booker t. washington. nd some other african-american leaders couldn't stand it. he hated him so much until he fould follow washington around, wherever washington was going to speak, trotter would find where they were going to be and make arrangements so he could sit right in the front and everything went fine. singing and other kinds of nings until they introduced booker t. washington. the minute they introduced washington and got ready to speak, they started shouting them down. i mean, washington had great opposition from significant people of african descent. although he and dubois never had a public argument. this was a misnomer, a fallacy. people writing stuff about dubois and washington at each other's throats. one was the chapter you'll be reading in the next few weeks, that's a very balanced critique of washington. and then the second was after washington died dubois wrote a jewel ji and published it in major newspaper. that was the only two public statements that dubois ever made about booker t. was

and so booker t. washingtonlly the first black presidential adviser on behalf of people of african dissent as well as indians. so washington is very, very important in this respect. also president roosevelt as well as his wife were frequent visitors to tuskegee. institute. not only president roosevelt but also many. dignitaries. one of the reasons washington was able to amass such a large endowment for tuskegee institute is because his funding primarily camevahd from liberal white -- during that era they were people who had founded these companies were in fact contributors and supporters of tuskegee institute. so we have here a picture for you of theodore roosevelt with booker t. washington at tuskegee institute.s@ this is a controversial picture of booker t. washington. this is at tuskegee institute. if you drive to tuskegee. even today, you will see this statue there. the statue is of booker twa and the man crouching down is a slave. there is a blanket symbolic of like a vail and booker twa is supposedly lifti

and i remember being at the birthplace of booker t. washington small unit of the national park service, and i can remember to this day over quarter a century ago, i can remember the stories i learned there about the people who lived at that place and about booker t. washington himself. i can remember after all these years because it is the stories that stay with us when we visit a place. it is often the story or the stories of a place that draw us to that location in the first place. and where we are seated in standing today is a myriad of those stories. i'm looking into the distance at that silent sentinel, the mess massanutten. we are standing in frederick in between those three counties, the towns of strasburg in middletown, all of these places rended by the civil war, torn apart for years only to have to bear witness to the battle cedar creek itself. the many men who fought, sacrificed their lives, their health, their freedom, access to their families, their futures on these fields. those stories are the stories that draw so many of us here,

but if you just look at booker t. washington, and what he did for hbcus, still well over 80% of black folks are educated. you know. still where seven or eight out of every 10 doctors and lawyers are still being educated at hbcus. you know that kind of black leadership and black intelligentsia coming out of hbcus and a lot of that had to do with booker t. washington's support. i meanly, sending money their way so that they could survive all that. so you have legacies in different ways. you have one institutional legacy. and another one a legacy in terms of transforming american society for resources and opportunities. we will continue with this argument throughout the semester i am sure, and ultimately i will win. thank you so much. >>> you've been watching a special presentation of our lectures in history series. we've got more every saturday at 8:00 p.m. and midnight eastern. join students in the classroom to hear lectures on campuses across the country, on topics ranging from the american revolution to the 9/11 terrorist attac

but looking at our history from lincoln to teddy roosevelt, booker t. washington, susan b. anthony, all the way down to president reagan who tapped into the american conscious, it is my identity that makes me a republican. unfortunately that history is , lost in our current political climate. where democrats hit us. we respond and it goes back and forth. i've seen those tensions within the republican party, whether you are a goldwater republican or rockefeller republican. tea party or moderate, libertarian or liberal. everyone is pointing at each other say why you are not republican. why you are not a conservative. we even have pejorative terms like rhino. one of the greatest accomplishments of president reagan is that not only did he united the country but he also united a divisive republican party. so what can we do -- some actionable things as young republicans -- to move away from that ideological crap, the infighting, the games and return to the ideas come the principles and values that made the republican party our party, the party of all working-class people and of p
