| Abstract
|
:
|
By 1900, Hampton Institute was the wealthiest school for African Americans. Its philosophy–stressing vocational education and forsaking political equality–was at its most influential during this time, attracting numerous followers as well detractors. Critics, both contemporary and present-day, have denigrated Hampton’s Northern, white supporters, arguing that they were acting out of economic self-interest because of the school’s emphasis on “uplift” through economic means at the expense of equal rights. However, attributing this loyalty to a white supremacist ideology that taught African Americans subservience obscures a fundamental fact: Hampton was more successful in fundraising because it was better at it than other schools. Over 8,000 donors, mostly Northern whites, gave mostly small donations to Hampton between 1894 and 1917 during the tenure of its second principal, H.B. Frissell.
