    I think we must at least accept that what Booker T. did was create an opportunity for Black colleges to grow and flourish. Where he was problematic, others did better, but he did help open the door. #HBCURising

        Booker T. was not problematic. Booker T. knew that in order to eat or be served. You had to have a seat at the table.

        I'm not here for this clumsily oversimplified and irresponsible history of Booker T Washington. #HBCURising students in my orientation understood the complexity of BTW better than trained black historians 🤦🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️😭 #TellThemWeAreRising #Tuskegee #skegee

        Say so.... Booker T did what he knew best. He used his way of negotiation to assure the development and longevity of schools #TuskegeeUniversity

        I think he was strategic. He developed and wielded his influence to lift the veil of ignorance and set individuals and institutions up for life.

        You can not judge Booker T through the lens of 2018 or living in New England. The deep south was and is different. This debate is too complex fir twitter and the 30 slanted seconds in the film.

        I never understood this attitude. Booker T Washington was flawed?!? Is that a surprise?Men get excused for their era right? Right?

        I think too, that people judge historical figures out of context.

        Was he problematic because he was critical of others?
