Booker T. Washington: Black Leadership in the Age of Jim Crow
ISBN: 9781566637251 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From the time of his famous Atlanta address in 1895 until his death in 1915, Booker T.

Thus one historian called Washington's time the nadir of Negro life in America.
