Overview
Though the postal address of the national monument corresponds to the Town of Hardy, Bedford County, Virginia, the official location of the monument proper is situated within the limits of Franklin County, Virginia, though far to the east of the Town of Rocky Mount. Booker T. Washington was, along with rival W.E.B. DuBois, significant in Black history and progressive movements in the United States of America, even if Washington was the less progressive of the two.
