A photo-illustrated register outlining the 1898-99 academic year. The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute inculcated Booker T. Washington’s principles of providing practical training for African Americans and helping them develop economic self-reliance through the mastery of manual trades and agricultural skills. Washington founded the school in 1881 and served as its principal until his death in 1915.
