    Port Allen High School Case Study

    The most common way Port Allen High students raise money for such thing is bake sales and market sales. In bake sales students buy baked goods from the store or make baked goods at home and they bring them to school. At lunch is the only time when students can sell their goods. Teacher permission and supervision is required for these types of things. Although a conflict of interest is students not getting approval from the teachers to host a bake sale because teachers simply can't supervise students.

    How Did Booker T Washington Contribute To Higher Education

    Washington also played and intricate part in the development of the United States because, he was a “Game Changer” in the African American community when it came to politics. His Philanthropist mindset played a great roll as well. He did not want to confrontationally approach the issues as his predecessor, Frederick Douglas did. Instead he acted in what some might call today “Politically Correct”. He realized that the confrontational approach didn’t get him anywhere, so instead he strived to build relationships which gave him an advantage when raising funds and allowed him to share his vision with others about Tuskegee University and how much of a help it really could be for African Americans in the south.…

    Booker T Washington Vs Dubois Analysis

    Washington was the nation’s most influential black leader. He had access to the most powerful political and business leaders in the United States. He would even become an advisor to the President. Washington was a former slave with no money who, with help; taught himself to read; was a very religious person; always the top student in his class; worked his way through school, and people admired him. Washington soothed white people and reassured black Americans as he counseled conciliation, patience, and agricultural and mechanical training as the most effective means to bridge the racial divide. His 1895 speech at the Cotton States Exposition in Atlanta elicited praise from both white and black listeners. (Darlene Clark Hine, et al., The African-American Odyssey, p. 443) Washington cleverly spoke in a way to raise up black aspirations without making white people fearful enough to kill and change laws. The south was only three decades out of the Civil War, and one of every three people was black. Many blacks in the south were kept illiterate and impoverished. Washington told whites that if they kept this up they will also be down. But, if they help lift blacks up, they and their community will also be lifted. He advised blacks to not be so distressed where they could not see the opportunity around them, and that their destiny was in the south. He also stated to cast down their buckets where they were in areas of trades and mechanics to live by production with their hands. During this time, black white collar workers such as lawyers could not find much work. Washington thought being a doctor was great, but stated; don't miss the opportunity in front of you right now. Washington also expressed to whites that black people have never treated them wrong and since their destiny rest in blacks, stop brutalizing them and help blacks get an education. Whites, at this time, feared blacks would vote and take over. Washington told whites…
