List at least two ways Booker T. Washington demonstrated perseverance in his life.

"Booker" (the only name he had as a slave) decided early on that the key to life was a good education.

Booker was nine when slavery ended. His stepfather insisted that he work in a salt mine to help support the family. But Booker wanted to go to school, so he figured out a way to do both. He worked at the mine from 4 to 9 am in the morning, then went to school, and returned to the mine to work from 2 in the afternoon to 9 at night. A 12 hour workday PLUS school!

When he was 12, he heard about Hampton Institute, where he could continue his education. Even though it was 500 miles away, he talked his mother into letting him go. Then, he ran out of money halfway there. So, he walked over 200 miles to get there.

That's perseverance

Explanation:

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
