Teddy and Booker T.

Roosevelt and Washington: An Alliance Against the Odds (2023) chronicles the remarkable partnership between President Theodore Roosevelt and educator Booker T. Washington as they tackled the pressing issue of racial justice in early twentieth-century America. In 1901, Roosevelt brought Washington into his inner advisory circle, triggering fierce racist opposition during a period marked by expanding Jim Crow legislation and widespread lynchings. These two men from opposite worlds shared a belief in American ingenuity and the power of cooperation to achieve meaningful change.
