A biography of Booker T. Washington is a good idea. Have you read the bio of George Washington Carver on CR4? There's a brief mention of Washington that you may find to be of interest.

Righto - as Moose said. George Washinton Carver was the peanut guy, Booker T. Washington, among other things, got George into Tuskeegee.

We didn't realise you had featured him an interesting character in a time when few blacks had any oppertunity for education .It's interesting how a man with so many things against him could still excel .

Adversity is what we were designed for. It's how we grow and develop. The main thing is to have an accurate understanding of the real challenges you're faced with and devote your efforts towards those while letting the peripherals to sort themselves out. Throughout history the greatest people have been the ones who faced the greatest difficulties and overcome them.

Is that why the kids today are such underachievers maybe they think it's possible to avoid all adversity and live in a world of bliss .Which ,as we know, takes all the fun out of it .It's overcoming adversity that gives the best reward ..And spurs the highest achievement .
