Tuskegee

This is the historic black college started by Booker T Washington as the Tuskegee Institute (which would become Tuskegee University) from the meager beginnings of a plantation that he purchased for such purpose in 1906. Through his wisdom and tenacity, the school evolved over the years with a repertoire of distinguished faculty like George Washington Carver and saw the training of 5 pilots who would go on to be known as the Tuskegee Airmen for their valor during World War II. For more background, you might want to consider reading Washington's account of his role in his autobiography Up From Slavery.
