why was the "atlanta compromise" speech important?

It served as proof of racial progress in the South

Explanation:

The Atlanta Compromise (1895) was an agreement between Booker T. Washington and other African-American leaders, and Southern white leaders, according to which Southern blacks would submit to the whites, but receive basic education and due process in law. Washington spoke in front of the predominantly white audience in Atlanta. The speech served as proof of the improvement in relations between black and white people in the South. The main idea of the speech was that the black and the white needed each other and had to find a way to coexist.
