The BTW Society Library

It's all here...or will be, as funds permit.
You are free to read and download any materials you find here.
Your donation can help to bring the more of Dr. Washington's practical wisdom to be available on this site.

Did you know that BTW wrote over a dozen books, countless news and magazine articles, and delivered thousands of speeches all over the country and in Europe? And that's not all.

He founded Tuskegee Normal & Industrial Institute (now known as Tuskegee University) and The National Negro Business League, advised three U.S. Presidents (Teddy Roosevelt, Howard Taft, William McKinley), and was about the most famous orator of his time.

Most significantly, Dr. Washington foresaw that lasting racial equality would require changed hearts and improved minds ... of both white and black. So he dedicated himself to education in preparation for that day when full equal rights and responsibilities would finally come.
