Make a video game about Booker T. Washington, his life and achievements and publish it online. Choose whether you want to build a basic game with quiz questions about his life, or an elaborate game where players have to perform tasks to enter various levels. Create the levels based on Washington's life, starting with his childhood as a slave, his years as a child laborer and his determination to get educated. Other sections of the game can include his visits to Queen Victoria and to President Theodore Roosevelt, or the construction of the University of Tuskegee. Ensure that players will appreciate Washington's achievements when playing the game, and design tasks that Washington might have performed in real life, including working in salt mines or running away from a strict employer.
Washington met many political leaders throughout his career, most notably U.S. president Theodore Roosevelt and British Queen Victoria. Choose an event in his life and write a short play about it to be presented for an audience. When writing about the White House visit, consider the controversy it caused and try to imagine a dialog between the president and the former slave. For a play about the visit to England, figure out why traveling to the other side of the world might have been important to Washington, and determine what he and the Queen would have talked about.
Much of Booker T. Washington's success was ascribed to his talent for public speaking. Arrange a public speaking contest with themes close to Washington's political and cultural agenda. Choose topics that include the benefits of diversity, or the importance of financial security. Alternatively, have a debate between two teams. One group will take the position of Booker T. Washington who encouraged African-Americans to leave the civil rights movement to focus on financial prospect rather than political power. The other team takes the position of W. E. B. Du Bois, an African-American intellectual and fierce opponent to Washington's suggestions of abandoning the fight for the right to political power.
Pay tribute to Washington's tremendous financial abilities by organizing fundraisers on behalf of one or more charities that promote education or support minority groups. Collect second hand books and good quality items from family and friends and hold a yard sale. Arrange a Booker T. Washington themed scavenger hunt for local business teams and charge participation fees. To honor Washington's vision of integration and peaceful co-existence, organize a multicultural picnic with games and sales of dishes from all over the world. Other fundraising ideas can include cake sales, bag packing in supermarkets and car wash stalls at gas stations.
