C. The Tuskegee Institute.

The school, now known as Tuskegee University, was founded in 1881 by Lewis Adams, a former slave and successful tradesman, and George Campbell, a former slave owner. Adams aided W.F. Foster, a white candidate for the state senate in Alabama, delivering many black votes for his candidacy in the 1880 election. In return, Foster worked to get the Alabama legislature to pass a bill that established a "normal school" (a teacher-training college) for African-American students. $2,000 per year was allocated from the Alabama state general budget to support the school -- but it remained otherwise a private institution. Booker T. Washington was hired to serve as its first principal--a post he held from 1881 to 1915. The school was originally called The Normal School for Colored Teachers at Tuskegee. Early in its history, the school's name was changed to The Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, to reflect the labor training students also took part in at the school. The institution became full university, Tuskegee University, in 1985. Presently, Tuskegee University offers undergraduate, masters, professional, and doctoral degrees, and has more than 3,000 students.
