Abstract
- This article examines a lecture that Booker T. Washington delivered to the Tuskegee literary society in order to argue for Washington's place within a Black Socratic tradition. Readings of this obscure speech invite new understandings of Washington's habits of public address, including his pedagogical practice as a teacher of rhetoric, and illuminates how rhetors have mobilized the myth of Socrates to galvanize marginalized communities to civic action.
