Abstract:
This article looks at the short life and career of prominent African American Joseph Charles Price, a contemporary of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and who's untimely death, followed shortly by Douglass', left Washington as the United States' most prominent black leader. Comparisons are made between Price and Washington's leadership styles as race leaders to determine whether Price would have stood in contrast to Washington's accomodationist tactics. A look at how Price built Livingstone College is included to draw a more complete picture of the nature of black leadership and the course of race relations between Reconstruction and the beginning of the 20th century.
