@SCAPUSH2018 Farewell to you too, and good luck with your struggles 🙂

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

@SCAPUSH2018 Now if you'll excuse me, I have a dinner at the #WhiteHouse to attend to. I'll be having a nice conversation with the president while you sit there, fighting blindly and liking your own tweets.

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

@SCAPUSH2018 Yes, that is exactly what I intended to do, thanks for finally understanding my plan.

And let's face it, because I listened to the whites, I am closer to integration than you'll ever be through your ignorant protests... I wouldn't consider myself brainwashed; I'm just SMART.

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

@jrobinsonAPUSH It won't prevent us, but it will require some patience. It took some time, but I was still able to become an honorable educator even with segregation around.

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

@SCAPUSH2018 It's gotten me a dinner with President #TheodoreRoosevelt at the #WhiteHouse back in 1901. I was the first black man to be honored in such a way BECAUSE of education! And you say it won't get us anywhere.

@SCAPUSH2018 @MLKJr2018 Okay then, if your plan to protest fails, you can find me at the Tuskegee Institute.

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

@f_douglassapush Unfortunately, there are more obstacles yet to come regarding #disenfranchisement, such as a series of tests and #polltaxes.

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

@f_douglassapush I am grateful to the #abolitionists who contributed to my emancipation. Without you all, I would not be here today, the head educator of my very own institute.

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

Also nice touch with the #horizontalintegration!

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

@JRAPUSH2018 By the way, I am following you because I admire your economic success from #StandardOilCo and your establishment of #trust. You are the role model us African-Americans need to show what we can achieve through economics.

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

@MLKJr2018 I am sorry you had to write #LettersfromaBirminghamJail.

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

Even though the #14thAmendment made us American citizens in writing, socially, the whites still haven't accepted us in such a way. Therefore, we must resort to our studies in order to better fit in with our society.

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

@AlicePAPUSH018 @gavinapush1804 It may take time for women to gain equality alongside men, just as it may take time for blacks and whites to overcome segregation. We must be patient.

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

@APhilipRandolp4 I followed you to advise you not to forget about our education. Although you were successful in the fight for rights during the #LaborMovement, being educated will help convince the white half of society to accept us even further as American citizens.

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

@GFitzAPUSH2018 @J_Davis_APUSH18 Fighting segregation directly will only lead to more violence and less respect from the whites. Take the #ChicagoRaceRiots, for example.

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

@GFitzAPUSH2018 @J_Davis_APUSH18 Although #ThurgoodMarshall may be correct and that possibility is at stake, we must take those chances. It may be the most effective way of gaining the respect we desire from our counterparts.

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

@jrobinsonAPUSH I am following you because you better involved yourself within our society through baseball. You prove that there are many ways a black man can do his part in the community other than protest or fight.

[BookerTWashingtonAPUSH2018 @TApush2018]

@GFitzAPUSH2018 @J_Davis_APUSH18 Even with segregation, as #GeorgeWallace claims will last"forever", we can still create schools that help benefit specifically the black population. I successfully formed the Tuskegee Institute, which gave African-American students the initiative and knowledge they needed.
