Allí se educaba a los afroamericanos para que fueran maestros, granjeros y ministros. En

septiembre de 1895, Washington dio un discurso en la Exposición Internacional del Algodón

en Atlanta. Pidió a los empleadores blancos que contrataran a afroamericanos sureños.

Prometió que los sureños de raza negra serían una mano de obra dócil que no generaría

agitaciones por conseguir mayores derechos civiles. Prometió que en lo social blancos y

negros permanecerían separados.

Washington tenía la esperanza de que les otorgasen más libertad para encontrar mejores

trabajos. Creyó que otros derechos civiles podrían ser adquiridos después. Otros líderes de raza negra, como W. E. B. Du Bois, de la Universidad de Harvard, no estaban de acuerdo con

Washington. Querían los derechos civiles completos de forma inmediata.
