[verse]
Booker T. was born in a small, poor place.
In a cabin in Virginia, he was born a slave.
After the Civil War Booker T. was set free.
He went to Hampton Institute to get a degree.
In Alabama, he built a school.
The school was called the Tuskegee Institute.
Teaching skills and trades each day.
Helping many people find their way.
[chorus]
Booker T. Washington is a name to know
Inspiring hearts, both young and old
Booker T. Washington is a name to know
With tales of courage, brave and bold.
[verse]
Booker T. believed in hard work and education.
He knew this was a way to a strong foundation
The first African American to dine at the White House
Invited by President Theodore Roosevelt
The first African American on a U.S. postage stamp.
Booker T. was buried on the Tuskegee campus.
Booker T. Washington helped build many schools.
Booker T. Washington helped build many schools.
A leader, teacher, brave and strong.
His legacy will forever live on.
[chorus]
Booker T. Washington is a name to know
Inspiring hearts, both young and old
Booker T. Washington is a name to know
With tales of courage, brave and bold.
