What do you think of Booker T. Washington?

Booker T Washington was one of the few pro-segregation blacks and he seemed to think that black people could bring themselves up, own their own businesses, and run their own schools in what was essentially a parallel society. He was widely denounced then. What do you think of him and his ideas?
