As part of the last generation of leaders born into slavery, Booker believed that blacks could better progress in society through education and entrepreneurship, rather than trying to directly challenge the Jim Crow segregation. After hearing the Emancipation Proclamation and realizing he was free, young Booker decided to make learning his life. He taught himself to read and write, pursued a formal education, and went on to found the Tuskegee Institute--a black school in Alabama--with the goal of building the community's economic strength and pride. The institute still exists and is home to famous alumnae like scientist George Washington Carver.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>James Buckley Jr. has written more than 50 books for kids, including <i>Who Was Ernest Shackleton?</i> and <i>Who Was Roberto Clemente?</i>
