Amerika, mønter, 50 cents, 1946, US Booker T Washington Commemorative Half Dollar 1946 to 1951
Booker Taliaferro Washington was born into slavery in Franklin County, Virginia around 1858. Freed following the Civil War, he sought to advance himself through education. Though there were instruments in place to achieve this in the Reconstruction Era South, Washington first had to work at difficult jobs in a salt furnace and a coal mine before finally entering the Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute in Hampton, Virginia in 1872. This was a trade school, and Booker learned practical skills that were in keeping with American society’s perceived role for freed slaves. The young man, however, had loftier aspirations for himself, and he advanced to the Wayland Seminary in Washington, DC for a broader education. Returning to Hampton in 1879 as an instructor, he was charged with educating 75 Native Americans.
