"The Story of Booker T Washington" 6' x 16'

Location: T. Washington High School North entrance, Tulsa, OK

Description: Collage depicting the story of Booker T from the early years when he worked in a salt mine up through his establishment of the great African American College at Tuskegee. His hard work and determination are to be an inspiration to all. He loved hard labor and education and felt that a combination of them would lead to a good life. He was as demanding of himself as he was of his students and colleagues. He was the first African American invited to the White House to have lunch with the president.
