Also it helps us because on page 103 it says "Well-- I always thinks like Booker T. Washington said that time-- 'Education has spoiled many a good plow hand' " and then later on Johnson says "Well -- he was one of our great men." In these quotes knowing back ground information about Washington helps us better understand this because we know why Johnson would have brought him up in a conversation about Walter being a servant while driving people around. Since he was a former slave and now was trying to get the slavery to end and have more equality it made since. ]]> 2018-11-07 14:11:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gmattimore22/tokst7k7tpx0/wish/301496009 gmattimore22 https://padlet.com/gmattimore22/tokst7k7tpx0/wish/301497608 - first African American to be on a postal stamp in 1940,
