Born a slave and deprived of any early education, Booker Taliaferro Washington nonetheless became America's foremost black educator of the early 20th century. He was the first teacher and principal of the Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama, a school for African-Americans where he championed vocational training as a means for black self-reliance. A well-known orator, Washington also wrote a best-selling autobiography (Up From Slavery, 1901) and advised Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Taft on race relations. His rather flaccid nickname of "The Great Accommodator" provides a clue as to why he was later criticized by W. E. B. Du Bois and the N.A.A.C.P. Washington was principal of Tuskegee Institute from 1881 until his death in 1915; it was originally called the Normal School for Colored Teachers and is now known as Tuskegee University.

Why did many blacks feel that Booker T Washington favored second class citizenship?
Booker T. Washington tended to advocate a more passive role for Blacks in the southern states. Despite the hardships they faced during the times following slaver, he stated that African Americans should focus their efforts on education and the advancement of their own labor techniques rather than political or social action to better their position in America. While many whites (most notably Teddy Roosevelt who took on Washington as an adviser) found his ideas acceptable, most blacks did not. There is some dispute, however, as to whether or not Booker T. really believed in his preachings. There have been some reports of political intrigue through the use of hired attorneys that may have helped shape some critical laws in the southern states that were intended to better the position of black laborers.

What is is the impact of voting?
In voting for the president, the way the area or state (depending on population and representation in the Electoral College) usually determines how the represenative in the electoral college will vote for the president. But sometimes the rep. will go against what his/her region voted for and just vote how they feel. In which case voting did nothing. In voting for state reps and senate and house reps voting counts if you really get into that sort of thing.
