The Washingtonian Collection is an archival compilation of high school newspapers produced by Booker T. Washington High School in Miami, Florida, spanning from 1946 to 1981. As a subsidiary of the Newspaper Collection, this historical resource provides valuable insight into the experiences, achievements, and perspectives of students from one of Miami’s most significant historically Black high schools.
The Washingtonian, the school’s newspaper, documented academic milestones, student life, cultural movements, and social changes over the decades. It serves as a primary source for understanding the evolving educational landscape and the impact of local and national events on the school community. This collection is not only a reflection of the voices of Booker T. Washington High School students but also a testament to the resilience and progress of Miami’s Black community during the mid-20th century.
