Washington, Margaret Murray (1865-1925) Margaret Murray Washington, born March 9, 1865, was one of ten children born to sharecroppers. Her father was of Irish descent and her mother was African American. Murray attended Fisk University for eight years and graduated in 1889. The following year she became “Lady Principal” at Tuskegee Institute where she met Booker T. Washington. In 1892 she married Washington, becoming his third wife. Murray wrote Washington’s speeches, assisted him in expanding the school, and accompanied him on lecture tours as his fame grew. Her own presentations usually directed at audiences of African American women, promoted what she termed self-improvements in habits and hygiene. Murray also served on Tuskegee’s executive board and later became dean of women. In February 1892, Murray began a Tuskegee program which provided child care, education and training in literacy, home care and hygiene for women in central Alabama which she called “mother's meetings.” In July 1895, Murray attended the Boston meeting which established the National Federation of Afro-American Women (NFAW). After being elected president the following year, she helped merge the NFAW and the Colored Women’s League (CWL) to form the National Association of Colored Women (NACW). She would also serve this newly established organization first as secretary of the executive board and then as president beginning in 1914. When Margaret Murray Washington died on June 4, 1925, condolences poured into Tuskegee Institute from across the nation. Even President Calvin Coolidge sent his greatest sympathies. Murray was remembered by friends, family, students, colleagues and community members as an individual who gave compassion and leadership to African American women in social service, education, reform and race-related work. She believed in the “Tuskegee Spirit,” the idea of seeing the Institute’s training as an essential instrument in interracial cooperation in the South.

To care can feel good, or it can feel bad. It can do good, it can oppress. But what is care? A moral obligation? A burden? A joy? Is it only human? In Matters of Care, María Puig de la Bellacasa presents a powerful challenge to conventional notions of care, exploring its significance as an ethical and political obligation for thinking in the more than human worlds of technoscience and naturecultures. Matters of Care contests the view that care is something only humans do, and argues for extending to non-humans the consideration of agencies and communities that make the living web of care by considering how care circulates in the natural world. The first of the book's two parts, \"Knowledge Politics,\" defines the motivations for expanding the ethico-political meanings of care, focusing on discussions in science and technology that engage with sociotechnical assemblages and objects as lively, politically charged \"things.\" The second part, \"Speculative Ethics in Antiecological Times,\" considers everyday ecologies of sustaining and perpetuating life for their potential to transform our entrenched relations to natural worlds as \"resources.\" From the ethics and politics of care to experiential research on care to feminist science and technology studies, Matters of Care is a singular contribution to an emerging interdisciplinary debate that expands agency beyond the human to ask how our understandings of care must shift if we broaden the world.
