African American Odyssey: The Booker T. Washington Era (Part 1) The 1870s to the start of World War I, the period when African American educator Booker T. Washington was gaining prominence, was also a difficult time for African Americans. The vote proved elusive and civil rights began to vanish through court action.

After Reconstruction ended in 1877, the federal government virtually turned a deaf ear to the voice of the African American populace.
