520    When President Theodore Roosevelt welcomed the country's 
       most visible Black man, Booker T. Washington, into his 
       circle of counselors in 1901, the two confronted a 
       shocking and violent wave of racist outrage. In the 
       previous decade, Jim Crow laws had legalized 
       discrimination in the South, eroding social and economic 
       gains for former slaves. Lynching was on the rise, and 
       Black Americans faced new barriers to voting. Slavery had 
       been abolished, but if newly freed citizens were condemned
       to lives as share croppers, how much improvement would 
       their lives really see? Brian Kilmeade tells the story of 
       how two wildly different Americans faced the challenge of 
       keeping America moving toward the promise of the 
       Emancipation Proclamation. Theodore Roosevelt was white, 
       born into incredible wealth and privilege in New York 
       City. Booker T. Washington was Black, born on a plantation
       without even a last name. But both men embodied the rugged,
       pioneering spirit of America. Kilmeade takes us to San 
       Juan Hill, where Roosevelt led his Rough Riders to a 
       thrilling victory that set the stage for a legendary 
       presidency, and to a small town in Alabama, where 
       Washington founded the first university for African 
       Americans, paving the way for the Civil Rights Movement. 
       Both men abhorred the decadence and moral rot the nation 
       had fallen into, believed that improvement through careful
       collaboration was possible, and trusted that the American 
       ideals of individual liberty and hard work could propel 
       the neediest toward success, if only those holding them 
       back would step aside.
