Washington honors distinguished alumna, unveils plan for statue of namesake


State Sen. John Whitmire said there is only one way to describe the impact made by Texas State Rep. and Booker T. Washington High School graduate Senfronia Thompson.
“All you have to say is, ‘It’s Representative T’s legislation,’ and it immediately becomes a priority,” Whitmire said.
As a result of her work in the Texas House of Representatives and the Houston community, Washington has made Thompson’s name its priority for life. The school dedicated its auditorium to the 1957 graduate, who is serving her 25th term in Austin, during a two-hour ceremony last Saturday, April 24.
The occasion also served a dual purpose as the groundbreaking of Washington’s “The Vision” community statue project. The student-led project is raising money for a community plaza on the Independence Heights campus, with a statue of school namesake Booker T. Washington as its centerpiece. Washington, who died in 1915 at age 59, was known as a civil rights trailblazer as well as an educator, author and advisor to several U.S. presidents.
