Booker Washington's Leadership But the raising of money and the building of a great school was only a small part of Washington's service to his race and to the entire South. The great problem of adjustment of relations between the races had been infinitely complicated by the blunders of reconstruction days and but little progress had been made towards a satisfactory solution. The Negroes, ignorant and inex- perienced, with little idea of working out their own future on a sound economic basis, r...estless under a vague consciousness that freedom had not brought the transformation which they had fondly anticipated, were suspicious of every move made by the white race how- ever well intentioned; while many of the white people of the South believed that their only safety lay in vigor- ous suppression of all efforts to educate the Negroes or elevate their condition. Mutual distrust bred bitterness and resentment, and injustice and crime followed as the inevitable result. 14 FOUNDER'S Day Address It was a situation urgently calling for a great leader who could fairly see both sides of the problem and com- mand the confidence of both races, and it is not too much to say that no white man could possibly have done what Washington did in this crisis.
