Answer: Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 – November 14, 1915[1]) was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary black elite.[2] Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Washington was a key proponent of African-American businesses and one of the founders of the National Negro Business League. His base was the Tuskegee Institute, a normal school, later a historically black college in Tuskegee, Alabama at which he served as principal. As lynchings in the South reached a peak in 1895, Washington gave a speech, known as the "Atlanta compromise", which brought him national fame. He called for black progress through education and entrepreneurship, rather than trying to challenge directly the Jim Crow segregation and the disenfranchisement of black voters in the South.

Washington mobilized a nationwide coalition of middle-class blacks, church leaders, and white philanthropists and politicians, with a long-term goal of building the community's economic strength and pride by a focus on self-help and schooling. With his own contributions to the Black community, Washington was a supporter of racial uplift, but secretly he also supported court challenges to segregation and to restrictions on voter registration.[3]

Vwhat occupation did the writer of beowulf most likely hold?
Sergio [31]

The occupation the writer of beowulf most likely hold is  a Geat hero, aids Hrothgar, the king of the Danes.

Because Old English epic poem Beowulf. This piece of Old English literature is among the most significant and frequently translated ones. Scholars disagree on the composition date; the only dating that is confirmed is for the text. The writer is referred to as the "Beowulf poet" by literature. In the sixth century, paganism still prevailed in Scandinavia.

Beowulf, a Geat hero, aids Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, whose mead hall in Heorot has been attacked by the monster Grendel. Grendel's mother attacks the hall after Beowulf kills him, but she is ultimately victorious. Beowulf returns to Geatland after his victory and takes the throne of the Geats. Beowulf kills a dragon fifty years later, but not before suffering a fatal wound.

Hope is the thing with feathers
Bingel [31]

Emily Dickinson is world renown among poets and those who love literature for her emphasis on both thought and feeling.

She is considered a master of form and syntax and is often called 'a poet of paradox'.

Generally speaking her poems tend to be short and they usually use only one voice (which is not necessarily that of the poet). She published well over 1800 poems of which only a handful of them were titled as is the case of the poem listed here.

Notice her use of form and paradox in referring to hope as a thing with feathers, something that never asks for anything in return.
