Booker T. Was a practical man. He said, Till the soil And learn from the land. Let down your bucket Where you are. Your fate is here And not afar. To help yourself And your fellow man, Train your head, Your heart, and your hand. For smartness alone'sSurely not meet- If you haven't at the same time Got something to eat. Langston Hughes Poem about Booker T. Washington

to be alive. But Booker T. Was nobody's fool; You may carve a dream with a humble tool. The tallest tower Can tumble down If it be not rooted In solid ground, So, being a far-seeing practical man, He said, Train your head, Your heart, and your hand -

Your fate is here And not afar, So let down your bucket Where you are.
