"Make up your mind that in spite of race or color, in spite of the obstacles that surround you, in spite of everything, you are going to succeed..." -Booker T. Washington
In 1902, Booker T. Washington published a small book composed of his fireside chats to his students and faculty at his Tuskegee Institute in Alabama entitled, "Character Building."
Booker T. was one of the leading blacks in American history and was truly a founding father of America and one of our greatest educators and philosophers. This section is entitled, "Don't Be Discouraged."
