description In his speech to the Booker T. Washington Business Association, native Alabamian and educator Dr. Broadus N. Butler argued that African Americans needed to project a positive self-image in their effort to fight discrimination and gain equality. He gave historical background on how the myth of inferiority prevented African Americans from gaining their true freedom. He also quoted Frederick Douglass extensively, as he agreed that the struggle for freedom is a fight — that African Americans must take personal responsibility to create their own uplift. He ended his speech with several practical multi-step plans designed to inspire pride in their community. All Trades Construction Company (ATCC), a group of African American tradesmen in the construction business, distributed the pamphlet of his speech. ATCC was also a member of the Booker T. Washington Business Association, a Detroit trade group. Dr. Butler served as an assistant dean at Wayne State University during this time.
