Liberia’s premiere technical school – the Booker T. Washington Institute (BWI) – celebrated the 95th anniversary of its founding June 29. Local reports say President Joseph Boakai plans to elevate the institution to technical university level. The school is named after Booker T. Washington, a former slave and founder of the Tuskegee Institute in the US State of Alabama. Dr. Carlos Philips is the principal of the Booker T. Washington High School in Houston, Texas. He has just returned from Liberia where he visited the BWI campus. He tells VOA’s James Butty about cooperation and partnership between BWI-Liberia and the Booker T. Washington High School in Houston.
