A nice edition that includes the text of Booker T. Washington's influential Atlanta Compromise Speech. The Future of the American Negro was written in 1899 by American educator Booker T. Washington. It set forth his ideas regarding the history of enslaved and freed African-American people and their need for education to advance themselves. He believes that even though slavery is illegal, the freed African-Americans are still enslaved to the white people. Those who are freed cannot be members of society because they are not given the same opportunities. Washington also states that the African-Americans are not superior, but that they are definitely not inferior to the white people. Slaves have had a hard time throughout their life in the United States. Their strength, knowledge, and perseverance has been tested by the white people that have run their lives for the longest time. Washington's approach put him at odds with W. E. B. DuBois who wrote The Souls of Black Folk.
