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.
