Thomas Monroe Campbell (1883 to 1956) was the first Cooperative Extension Agent in the United States and headed the first Extension Program as a field agent for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. He was well known for his work under the tutelage of Booker T. Washington and as a peer of George Washington Carver, wrote The Movable School Goes to the Negro Farmer, and won the Harmon Award in 1930 for his service in agriculture. A bust of him stands in the Tuskegee University Library. He was among a group of African Americans trained by the Treasury Department to sell war bonds, and his fourth child, William A. Campbell, became a highly decorated member of the Tuskegee Airmen.
