DR. BOOKER T, WASHINGTON WAS ASSASSINATED
ASSASSINATION OF DR. BOOKER T WASHINGTON HAS BEEN HIDDEN
Was Booker T. Washington actually murdered, assassinated, in 1915 in New York City, from a bludgeoning, but survived the brutal racist attack long enough (two months) to die at home, in Tuskegee, Alabama, at 59.
I say that he was assassinated! But that one fact has been suppressed for over one hundred years by some people or not considered worthy of investigation by others.
The latest news article that I have seen mentions that Washington's death was caused by high blood pressure. It appeared in a 2006 issue of the "Washington Post."
It does not even mention Booker T. Washington's severe beating about his head by a white assailant with a bludgeon, a blunt instrument. One surely would think that intracranial pressure caused by such a beating would certainly be contributory !

I don't buy this spurious, latter day deduction by some alleged medical experts and historians who would even omit, boldly the true cause, the brutal assault on his head, while indirectly suggesting that the fabled Tuskegee U. founder 's high blood pressure, which it termed a "Negro disease," more so than syphilis, another such "Negro disease," was more than likely the cause of Dr. Washington's death!
At least one author suspects that Washington's death was caused by an assassination. A registered nurse, Paulette Davis-Horton has written a 2008 book titled, "DEATH IN 60 DAYS--WHO SILENCED BOOKER T. WASHINGTON?

A New York Times article dated November 15, 1915, article claims that Dr. Booker T. Washington died of the "hardening of the arteries."

The "New York Amsterdam News" carried a fiery editorial on the sad acquittal of Washington's murderer, Henry Ulrich, white thug, gangster. But it bears a date of 1911, 4 years before Washington's bludgeoning!

The plain fact is that all people die. Booker T. Washington would have also died of something eventually. But, the truth vindicates itself. It also motivates men to action. This latter prospect--action--was the thing to be discouraged by the cover-up, legal and media, of the public murder of Dr. Washington which still exists to the present!
Iconic Booker T. Washington was assassinated, by bludgeoning in New York City in 1915. That is still one of the nation's greatest secrets. Its deliberate obscurity was not unlike the woeful Tuskegee Syphilis Study of the 1930-1970s.
