Booker T. Washington 1895 Atlanta Exposition Address
Booker T. Washington's speech delivered at the opening of the Cotton States Exposition, Atlanta, Georgia, September 18, 1895 . This speech, called the "Atlanta Compromise" by his critics, propelled Washington to fame. His speech reflects his vision to improve African-Americans' lives through education, not social change.
In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.
The speech is in its entirety and presented on antiqued parchment paper that looks and feels old. Document size is 14 x 16 inches. Shipped rolled and is easily flattened for framing.
