The Slave Who Built a University | Faith & Freedom #5 | Karl Bastian Podcast #236
from Karl Bastian's Podcast (Formerly Kidmin Talk) · host Karl Bastian
As America celebrates her 250th Anniversary, Karl continues the Faith & Freedom series by exploring the remarkable Americans whose faith, character, and the opportunities of freedom shaped not only our nation—but the world.Booker T. Washington began life as a slave with no books, no classroom, and no opportunity to learn. But after freedom came, a young boy's hunger for education led him to walk hundreds of miles just for the chance to attend school. Years later, that same determination enabled him to build Tuskegee Institute—one of America's most influential educational institutions—and inspire generations of future leaders, including George Washington Carver.In this episode, discover how character opened doors that talent alone never could, why a simple broom became the key to Booker's future, and how faith, hard work, and education transformed not only one life, but thousands more.More than a history lesson, this episode reminds us that education and character can change generations. And perhaps... the next world-changer is already sitting in your classroom.Share with Kidology.org/podcast236THE KARL BASTIAN PODCAST (Formerly KidminTalk) is the Podcast of "Kidologist" Karl Bastian, founder of Kidology.org and host of The Karl Bastian Podcast.
