Born into slavery, Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) became a leading African American intellectual of the 19th century, founding Tuskegee University in 1881 and the National Negro Business League two decades later. Washington advised Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. He defines the term "industrial education" as learning the necessities to become a valuable member of society and the ability to apply this knowledge to industrial business.
Washington explains the emphasis he applies to industrial education by referring to the different educational dispensations in the northern and southern states. He considered it as a necessary means and a stepping stone to assist his people. Industrial education was providing the African Americans with the skills and knowledge Washington felt were needed.
