HARDY, Va. — A brief stop at one of the first places to help spark my interest in national parks and memorial sites.

The Booker T. Washington National Monument preserves the birthplace of one of the most influential African-American figures in history and offers a powerful look into the early life in enslavement of this renowned educator. It is a place of deep historical reflection, serving as a reminder of the complexities of the American experience and the enduring power of education and hard work.
