Fishing and healthy living restored Booker T. Washington’s (left) health with medical care from William P. Crayton. There are opportunities to enjoy the outdoors near his home in Alabama at Eufaula and Cahaba River National Wildlife Refuges. The Booker T. Washington National Monument in Virginia lets you explore his birthplace.
