Answer: He was an educator, speaker and leader of the black American community.

Washington believed that education was the solution for the black community to ascend in the economic-social structure of the United States. He was its leader and spokesman at the national level. Although his style of non-confrontation was criticized by some he was very successful in his relationships with great philanthropists such as Anna T. Jean's, Henry Huddleston Rogers, Julius Rosenwald and the Rockefeller family, who helped with thousands of dollars education at Hampton and Tuskegee, where he studied in his youth. They also financed hundreds of public schools for black children in the south and made donations to promote legal change on segregation and voting rights.

They nicknamed him "the great usher".

That is all i can give you for this question.Sorry
