“He watched the speech at Booker T. Washington High School.”

Seriously...what exactly was Mr. Peanut’s contribution to enable the naming of 4,000 high schools after him? Was he the first black scientist or something? There has to be something more to it than I can figure out...no BC maybe?

Washington invented lots of stuff. Socialism wasn’t one of them

Did you mean George Washington Carver, or did Booker T do something with peanuts, too?

Booker T. Washington was the first leader of the Tuskegee Institute, and by partnering with wealthy donors, helped to build public schools for black kids. He urged blacks to work hard and become educated.

George Washington Carver, dude. He was the scientist. Booker T. Washington was the great educator (and the one who warned about Black con-artist race hustlers like Zero a century ahead of time).
