[edit]... that the Booker Washington Institute in Kakata, Liberia, is named after American educator Booker T. Washington?

nice article on good sources. Sorry, I find the hook boring, mentioning the name twice. How about mentioning Liberia's first agricultural and vocational school? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:32, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
- ALT: ... that Liberia's first agricultural and vocational school is named after American educator Booker T. Washington?
- How about this alt that covers both? I'm not that into such a specialized first, and I personally find it interesting that a school in another country is named after an American. It makes sense if you read the article and know Liberian history, but I suspect most readers do not about the interconnected histories. Plus had it run today, you would have a link to Booker T during America's Black History Month. Aboutmovies (talk) 17:36, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
Thank you, offline source accepted AGF ("first" is not so import, but "agriculture" and "school" are, - an institute could be anything), --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:38, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
