Washington dubbed genius of persuasion by Tuskegee aide
Dr G Lake Imes, former Tuskegee secretary of five years with Booker T.

He notes Washington’s persuasive approach, not denouncing legal avenues, and praises Sidney J. Phillips and the Booker T. Washington Centennial Commission for continuing Washington’s ideals as part of the centennial observance.
