...Eddie A. Wigginton Jr. History H106 Dr. Robertson The American Negro The American Negro is a speech written by Booker T. Washington September 18, 1895. Washington was born April 5, 1856 and died November 14, 1915. He was known as an educator and a reformer for the black community. A majority of his professional career was spent living in Tuskegee Alabama, home of Tuskegee University (Encyclopedia Britannica para. 1). “Along with disenfranchisement, the 1890’s saw the widespread imposition of segregation in the south” (Foner p.646). At this period in time whites were having issues coinciding with blacks, rather it was in the workplace, theatre, or on a train. Since Reconstruction, matters have only got worse.

After the reading of the speech I believe Washington wanted...
