Abstract
Booker T. Washington's Tuskegee Institute, founded in 1881 as a secondary school for African Americans, was built with the help of white designers, trustees, and donors who shared planning decisions with the black architects and landscape architects that earlier studies have revealed. Widely known as an oasis of racial peace even when southern states were disfranchising African Americans, legalizing discrimination, and denying educational parity-and when lynchings and white-on-black mob violence were on the rise-Tuskegee shared educational ideals with progressive northern schools, an architectural iconography with the white South, and even sleeping quarters with its white guests.
