Evidence

Such visions resonate with the politics of racial accommodation and acquiescence that were typified by Booker T. Washington’s Hampton Institute (opened in 1868) and the Tuskegee Institute (opened in 1888) in the United States. All of these institutions share a language of “uplift” and respectability. Each was designed to turn historically laden resentments into sensibilities that would maintain a domesticated race and a respectable working class. — Ann Laura Stoler, Along the Archival Grain_ Epistemic…, 730
