Booker T. Washington founded the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute in 1881, serving as its principal until his death in 1915. The school instilled Washington’s principles of providing practical training for African Americans and helping them develop economic independence through the mastery of agricultural skills and manual trades.
