The correct answer is the "Atlanta Compromise" speech.

Booker T. Washington delivered this speech in Georgia,Atlanta in 1895.

He strongly believed in the concept of shared responsibilities between the white people and the black people,this was later known as the Atlanta Compromise. On one hand, the African American people should guarantee peace and on the other hand and in return, the white people should see for better economic and social conditions for the black people.

Washington also supported vocational education for the African Americans. He considered this very valuable.
