I would nominate Booker T. Washington who rose from slavery near Roanoke, VA to found the Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Alabama and was one of the most noted national black leaders of the late 19th century and early 20th century.

Subject: Great/Important Virginians, 19th Century

Last week we had some interesting suggestions and comments about
greatest or most important 20th century Virginians.

This week, let's hear from folks about greatest or most important 19th
century Virginians.

NB: One of my colleagues suggested that I should phrase that, "greatest
or most important 19th century Virginians not named Robert E. Lee."
