Scott, chief of staff, adviser, and ghostwriter to Booker T. Washington, and power player behind the Tuskegee Institute.\u003cbr\u003eReared in Freedmen's Town, Texas, Emmett J. Scott was a journalist, newspaper editor, government official, author, and chief of staff, adviser, and ghostwriter to Booker T. Washington. He was frequently called \"the power broker of the Tuskegee Machine\": he was a Renaissance man, scholar, and political fixer. However, his life has not received a full examination until now. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilt upon fifty years of research, Maceo C. Dailey's \u003ci\u003eEmmett J. Scott\u003c\/i\u003e offers fascinating detail by describing Scott's role in promoting the Tuskegee Institute. Before his death, Dailey had nearly singular access to the Scott papers at Morgan State University, which have been officially closed for decades. Readers will finally be exposed to Scott's behind-the-scenes contributions to racial uplift and will see Scott's influential role in advancing not only the Tuskegee Institute but also the Booker T. Washington agenda.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditors Will Guzmán and David H. Jackson lend their own expertise in bringing Dailey's lifetime project to fruition. Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning historian David Levering Lewis, a close friend of Maceo Dailey, provides a timely foreword. Former Black Panther Party chairwoman Elaine Brown, granddaughter of Emmett J. Scott, reflects on her relationship with Scott and his impact in the afterword.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTaken together, this work of biography is an impressive reference and an essential endeavor of recovery, one that restores to prominence the life and legacy of Emmett J. Scott.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55093545599350,"sku":"9781682831236","price":39.07,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_41422174_4b583772-a223-4cc2-8921-5680eea6e9fc.jpg?v=1779916758","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781682831236-emmett-j-scott","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
