Quizplus · Accepted Answer

White people largely embraced Booker T. Washington's message of non-threatening acceptance of white superiority, and many supported him financially. This was partly because his message did not challenge the racist attitudes of the time and offered reassurance that the racial hierarchy would not be upset. Additionally, many white people were likely pleased that Washington focused on economic progress and vocational training, rather than political or legal equality.
