Margaret and Booker Taliaferro Washington

This is a photo of Booker Taliaferro Washington and his 3rd wife, Margaret Murray Washington, added by Ancient Faces on January 9, 2012.

This photo was taken just 5 years after Margaret and Booker had been invited to join Teddy and Edith Roosevelt for dinner at the White House. The move wasn't popular in the South.

Margaret was Booker's 3rd wife. His first 2 wives, died - Fannie (Fanny) Smith Washington (1858–1884) married 1882, and Olivia America Davidson Washington (June 11, 1854 – May 9, 1889) married 1886. He married Margaret in 1893 and she survived him.

Date & Place: 1906

On this day in 1901, Booker T Washington and his wife Margaret were invited to dine at the White House with President Teddy Roosevelt and his wife Edith. The invitation was condemned in the South and yet reading about the man will show you just how amazing he was.

I remember learning about him in school and greatly admired him. At the time I wasn't aware that black people were often treated so poorly. It's very sad.

Booker T. Washington Apr 5, 1856 - Nov 14, 1915 Tuskegee, Alabama, United States

Born into slavery in Virginia in 1856, Booker T. Washington rose to prominence as an influential African-American educator, author, and presidential advisor during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, overcoming a difficult childhood characterized by poverty and lack of education to become a leading figure in the fight for civil rights. Despite facing numerous obstacles, including a lack of funding and racial discrimination, he founded the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, where he and his students worked tirelessly to build a school that would provide education and training to African-Americans, with the ultimate goal of empowering them to take charge of their own futures and become leaders in their communities. Through his tireless efforts and unwavering commitment to the cause of equality, Washington became a symbol of hope and inspiration for generations of African-Americans. To read about his long and illustrious life, see New York Times Obituary - November 15, 1915.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
