This is a collection of characterizations of such significant southern leaders as Woodrow Wilson, Charles Aycock, Joel Chandler Harris, Booker T. Washington, and others. They were leaders whose contributions resulted from hard work and devotion to special causes rather than to any dominance of self, leaders whose personalities and capacities were able to adapt to changing needs.
