Booker T. Washington has been regarded as the leading figure in
African American life, and as the man who brought his people from
slavery to unfettered economic, political, and social involvement
in the American mainstream. He has also been strongly criticized
for advancing the cause of racial accommodation when the political
agenda dictated the development of an independent black standpoint
in all areas of the industrial structure. This agenda went far
beyond educational reform and agrarian participation. Character
Building first appeared in 1902. While enormous changes have
occurred in all phases of African American rights and
responsibilities, Booker T. Washington's broad outlines on building
moral character have remained intact. Washington's book can be
viewed as a Dale Carnegie volume on How to Win Friends and
Influence Peopleblack and white as noted by the very title of the
chapters: "Helping Others," "Influencing by Example," "Education
that Educates," "The Gospel of Service," etc. For those in search
of the ideological roots of black life in post-slavery times, this
text will be a reminder of where the American nation has come from
and, arguably, where it is going.
