Former Slave Booker T. Washington, alleged that BOTH WHITES & BLACKS were harmed by the detrimental effects of the institution of slavery. He describes an alcoholic white man who fell apart after the emancipation of the slaves who reared him being cared for very tenderly by these former slaves. One slave walking across state lines on foot to repay his former master some $30-it was about honor.
How far we have fallen.
Booker T Washington and George Washington Carver are two people I think very highly of, what they overcame and accomplished was amazing.
