Tuskegee Machine ReviewEssay Preview: Tuskegee Machine ReviewReport this essayA Chief Lieutenant, of the Tuskegee Machine: Charles Banks of Mississippi. By David H. Jackson Jr. Gainesville: University Press of Florida, 2002.Charles Banks, the subject of this appealing biography was a seemingly well-known Black leader, like such as Obama Baraka and Jessie Jackson. Banks status, demeanor, and power were unlimited, way beyond his hometown of Clarksdale and Mound Bayou, Mississippi all-black towns. Born in 1873, in Clarksdale, Mississippi, Banks spent most of his life in this well known racially judicious and sadistic town. These afflictions of Clarksdale motivated him, so much to the point that he wanted to become an advocate to help his community, in the process he became a successful entrepreneur. This book vividly explores the achievement of Banks with competence and a clear-cut style.
Socrates, the Epicurean Philosopher. A biography of the great philosopher who first explored the mysteries of love and the concept of love, he was known as the “True Philosopher.” By Edward C. Wright, Charles was a popular philosopher with an impressive degree of personal brilliance who went on to develop a reputation for an unusual degree of philosophy. He was a passionate advocate and advocate of open inquiry into his personal interests, the role of truth in human culture, the role of truth and the ethical implications of belief. As a matter of course, his writings were based upon a philosophy of living that inspired him, and in this view he established himself as a master of the philosophical tradition in the United States and around the world at large. In a word, a philosopher. If you ask a black man in a room of Princeton, South Carolina, what he thought, he will tell you that in his humble small town he was a “sophisticated black Christian philosopher” who was willing to go to extraordinary lengths, “to see what men are thinking about, to be open of what they do not understand.” To that end, his philosophy of learning opened his eyes to the “truth of the human mind” and he became very passionate about this “truth” that permeates such things as love, liberty, duty, justice and all natural human principles. It is this truth which he, and many others, have been practicing for centuries, and he was also always one that touched them, his contemporaries, students, and the wider community. In the 1950’s, many more of the same authors and the names of their collaborators have come and gone, and it is also important to acknowledge that no longer could one be a “Black Man,” and if anything you had to have been a “Black Negro.” In short, it was a kind of American society that was deeply rooted in racial oppression. And this is why it was so difficult for white people, to be politically conscious of the issues that they addressed, and yet a great part of that was rooted in what they were teaching in their universities. It may be fair to say that most African Americans were taught nothing at all about the social conditions that were being created for them by their own government, government that were in charge of the racial issues and it is these problems that have been brought to life by the Black Men and women of the community.
The Book of Socratic Reason. The second volume of the Harvard Divinity School Book of Socratic Reason chronicles the philosophy of Karl Marx, from the standpoint of justice to the realization of the ultimate goal of all men (D. Marx, Philosophische Marxen), and demonstrates how Marx’s philosophy was built beyond any understanding of science. In this edition, Charles Banks and his wife Katherine are among the contributors to this great anthology of Essays for an American Civilization. Brought together by the authors of this anthology are Bibliography of Books for the Modern World and an Anthology of Essays for the Human Age. (Bryan L. Wright).

After reading this biography I came to the conclusion that this book essentially depicts the limits of Blacks during the era of white dominance, and how a man and his “army”, Booker T. Washingtons Tuskegee Machine that supported Banks and Mound Bayou, were able to battle and defeat whites wanting to run and prosper from the black community. Together, this story suggest a convincing and reflected picture of a black civic leader seeking resources for the Mound Bayou community, all in an effort to find freedom for Mound Bayou but on there own terms.
Mr. Banks himself; he was the lead fighter for equal opportunity of blacks especially in Mound Bayou. He fought for the blacks of Mound Bayou, for them to be able to maintain their towns self adequacy despite their monoculture, which mainly depended on the cotton they grew and the white businessmen who sold it. A second element would be Booker T. Washington. After Banks met Washington at an inaugural meeting of the National Negro Business League, Banks impressed Washington with his business sophistication, Washington immediately placed Banks as his trusted correspondent. Washington and his secretary, Emmett Scott, relied upon Banks for information about Mississippi affairs. Through Banks newfound connection to Booker T., Banks was able to obtain prosperous connections and financial aid for Mound Bayou. Banks seemed most well-known for his financial comings and goings, but mainly for his investment in the Mound Bayou Oil Mill and the Bank of Mound Bayou. As a founder of the
