As the principal of Tuskegee Institute, Washington had the vehicle and platform to practice and espouse his educational philosophy and his theory concerning the advancement of African Americans.  In 1895 he was invited to speak at the opening of the Cotton States Exposition in Atlanta, Georgia, where he advocated that African Americans could attain their constitutional rights through their own economic and moral advancement by becoming efficient at practical skills such as farming, carpentry, and masonry rather than pursuing legal and political means for collective advancement. Moreover, he advanced the idea that African Americans should “compromise” and acquiesce to segregation, a position which garnered him the title of “The Great Accommodator.”   Although Washington never publicly condemned forced segregation.
