COVER ADDRESSED TO TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE
circa 1914-1915
Founded by Booker T. Washington in 1881, Tuskegee Institute offered a practical curriculum for teachers, farmers, and industrial laborers. Teachers emphasized education and self-reliance as the path of equality, a legacy that made Tuskegee the birthplace of the civil rights movement. The Tuskegee Institute became a National Historic Site in 1976. |
