Owner Comments:

Washington worked in salt furnaces and coal mines in West Virginia for several years to earn money. He made his way east to Hampton Institute now Hampton University in Hampton, VA, which was established to educate freedmen and their descendants, where he also worked to pay for his studies (See https://virginiahistory.org/learn/civil-rights-movement-virginia/hampton-institute-and-booker-t-washington)
