Date of recording edit
According to the Library of Congress this recording was made on December 5, 1908 and is the only known sound recording made by Booker T. Washington. He is reading an excerpt from his "Atlanta Compromise" speech and recorded it for private purposes. It was made available commercially by Washington's son in 1920.
