A Living Leader: Runoko Rashidi wrote: I posted an image and an acknowledgment of Booker T. Washington earlier today and, of course, I got criticism for it. But did you know that Marcus Garveys first visit to the US was to meet and seek advice from Booker T. Washington? Did you know that Booker T. Washington organized the first Pan-African conference in the US? Did you know that that greatest of the leaders of the Black Untouchables of India, B.R. Ambedkar, and Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana, came to study in the US largely because of reading Booker T. Washingtons Up From Slavery? Did you know that Booker T. Washington raised the money to send the historian George Washington Williams to the Congo to investigate the reports of atrocities committed under the regime of Leopold II of Congo? Did you know that the great Dr. John Henrik Clarke publicly called for a reassessment of Booker T. Washington? And then you ask, where are the Black leaders? Sometimes we are our own worst enemies.
