Park 194- Booker T Washington National Monument



Date of visit: June 3, 2012

Cooper and I ran over here, which is the site of the original farm that Washington was born, as a slave.  We watched a movie that told the story of his effort to educate himself, and rise above his standing.  He later of course started the Tuskeegee Institute, to educate his fellow Blacks. 

Got a postcard, a pin, a hiking medallion, and two other pins from the site.
I got the site stamp, but the 25th was not available, even though it had been confirmed a week before.
