Golden Peacock - Dr. Bukat Washington

Bucca, T., Washington's first.

Biography summary

If we look at the background of a noble man named Bukka, Tali Afarro, Washington, he was born and raised as a slave in a small village. During his school days, he worked very hard and studied hard. Between the ages of 20 and 30, he opened and managed a school that was famous in the United States.

Child-sized

In 1859, Bucca Washington was born on a large plantation in Virginia. His father was unknown. His mother was a slave who worked on the plantation. The boy's first name was "Bucca." However, Bucca changed his name to Washington when he was in school. The "t" between Bucca and Washington was called Tliama Fero. This name was similar to the name they had inherited from their African ancestors.

As a young boy, Bucca Washington had to work hard. He had to collect firewood, carry water, clean the yard, and sometimes carry his mistress's books to school. When he first arrived at school carrying his mistress's books, he developed a strong desire to study. But it was not at that time that the black slaves of the Cape were allowed to study. Bucca Washington even thought, "I will never be able to read."

School leave

When Bucca Washington was eight years old, all the slaves in America were freed. The Bucca family moved to western Virginia. Bucca worked in a salt mine with his uncle. A town had sprung up near the mine. A night school for the poor was opened in that town. Bucca began to read and write in this school.

Sweep. Once and again, four times, the room was swept. The table, the chairs, and the furniture were wiped with a cloth until there was no dust. When the teacher returned and checked her handkerchief and the chairs, she found not a speck of dust. In this way, Booker Washington passed the entrance exam with flying colors.

Teacher -

Bucca Washington attended the school for three years. After graduating with honors, he returned to his hometown of Mauldin and opened a school for the children of the Kappa people. After teaching for two years, he went to the Bible Institute in Washington, D.C., to study theology. After only eight months at the Bible Institute, General Armstrong invited him to return to teach at the Hamlin school where he was living. Bucca was very happy to receive this opportunity. Bucca was only twenty years old at the time.

He served faithfully and diligently at the Hamlin School. So impressed with his talent, he was appointed in 1881 to open a vocational and teacher training school in Taxige, Alabama. The school had no building or capital to start. However, thanks to the efforts of Bucca Washington, it soon became one of the best boys' schools in Taxige. Bucca Washington was only 22 years old at the time. Today, more than 3,000 students come to the Taxige Institute of Technology in the United States each year to study various trades. Many people from all over the world visit this school.

A well-spoken person

The Texas Institute of Science was essentially run by the generosity of the people. To finance the school's expenses, the principal, Buchanan Washington, would go around the city and preach. He was such a eloquent speaker that anyone who heard of his school could not help but donate. In this way, he raised a lot of money for the school's fund. He was a man of great reputation for his oratory skills. He was arguably the best public speaker in the United States at that time.
