From veterinarian Elijah L. Reid to Oliver N. Freeman and the Freeman-Harris extended family of carpenters, brickmasons, and stonemasons to Dr. Joseph H. Ward to numerous alumni, Wilson County’s historical links to Tuskegee University are strong. Today we celebrate its Independence Day founding 145 years ago!
Hat tip to Karen Stanley for the image.
The OUTSTANDING Booker T. Washington…one of history’s GREATEST EDUCATORS.
He showed up everywhere for everybody that was involved in educating African-Americans..
be it Wilson North Carolina , Garner North Carolina , the upper North Eastern part of the country , etc. etc., etc.
Since he went when transportation was absolutely nominal, I MUST go !!
