Like his mentor, General Armstrong, Washington made sure that all skills and academic courses taught at Tuskegee had practical application in the economy of the postwar South. Through skillful management, tireless fund-raising, and shrewd diplomacy with whites, he built Tuskegee, literally brick by brick, into the top black trade school in the country. The school opened on July 4, 1881, with one teacher and thirty pupils. In 1881 Washington left Virginia for Alabama, to establish the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Afterward, he taught school in Malden and briefly attended the Wayland Seminary in Washington, D.C., before accepting an invitation from General Armstrong to join the faculty at Hampton.

Now he’s at the end of time, having crash-landed on Pangaea Ultima with few supplies and no way of returning home. If he was, he wouldn’t have followed the spaceship into the black storm clouds above the Bermuda Triangle. But, in reality, he was not a cautious man.
