Timothy Thomas Fortune
Timothy Thomas Fortune (October 3, 1856 – June 2, 1928) was an orator, civil rights leader, journalist, writer, editor and publisher. He was the highly influential editor of the nation's leading black newspaper ''The New York Age,'' and was the leading economist in the black community. He was a long-time adviser to Booker T. Washington and the ghost writer, and the editor of Washington's first autobiography, ''The Story of My Life and Work.''〔Charlotte D. Fitzgerald, "The Story of My Life and Work: Booker T. Washington’s Other Autobiography," ''The Black Scholar'' (2001) 21#4 pp 35–40〕 Fortune’s philosophy of militant agitation in behalf of the rights of black people laid one of the foundations of the Civil Rights Movement.
==Early life==
He was born during slavery in Marianna, Jackson County, Florida, to Emanuel and Sarah Jane Fortune. He started his education at Marianna's first school for African Americans after the Civil War. His family moved to Jacksonville where he attended Stanton High School for Negroes. He worked both as a page in the state senate and as apprenticed printer at a Jacksonville newspaper during the time that his father, Emanuel, was a Reconstruction politician in Florida. At one time Fortune also worked at the ''Marianna Courier'' and later the ''Jacksonville Daily-Times Union''. These experiences would be the start of a career wherein he would go on to have his work published in over twenty books and articles and in more than three hundred editorials. In 1874 he was mail route agent and then he was promoted to customs inspector for the eastern district of Delaware but only held this position for a few months before resigning in order to attend Howard University.
