I think maybe it was Booker T Washington. With his moves to get more comfortable positions for the africans, I think he was very influential.  

I think maybe it was Booker T Washington. With his moves and determination to get more comfortable positions for the africans, and his well known speech to the Atlanta Exposition in 1895, I think he was very influential. And his self-taught education was probably admired by africans, and that could have made him influential not only to everyone, but the africans singled out.

 

Whether or not during this span of years he was second only to Thomas Edison, I don't know. I know only that he WAS influential, and important. It doesn't matter who was more influential then him, or less, but each person is just as important as the rest, though perhaps not as influential when it comes to the economy or daily living. The only difference between people like Thomas Edison, and Abraham Lincoln and a next door neighbor, is that the neighbor probably will never be told about in a text book.
