| Description: | Encyclopedia article about Booker T. Washington's famous "Atlanta Compromise" speech, delivered on September 18, 1895, at the Cotton States and International Exposition in Atlanta. Considered the definitive statement of what Washington termed the "accommodationist" strategy of black response to southern racial tensions, it is widely regarded as one of the most significant speeches in American history.
