About the Author

Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) was born into slavery and overcame racism and oppression to become one of the most respected and influential African-American leaders of the late nineteenth century. He founded the Alabama Tuskegee Institute in 1881 and advocated the advancement of African Americans through education and entrepreneurship. An adviser to Presidents Roosevelt and Taft, Washington displayed an apparent acceptance of segregation and clashed with other black leaders such as W. E. B. Du Bois who took a more militant approach to social change.

David Sadzin began using his voice to get attention in grade school, where his teacher thought he was awfully quiet until she gave him a paragraph to read out loud. After a few intense years on New York stages performing traditional and experimental theater and improv comedy, he is now comfortably settled in front of a mic in his home studio in Brooklyn, New York.
