This is the compelling life story of Booker T. Washington, who faced and overcame societal and ideological biases starting from his days as a slave. He is widely recognized as one of America’s most influential and persuasive speakers, boldly challenging racial prejudice at a time when it was unheard of for a black man to do so. While his ideas on racial separation sparked controversy, he tirelessly advocated for unity among black people to improve their lives and secure a brighter future for their race. From his relentless pursuit of education to the establishment of the renowned Tuskegee Institute, Washington’s autobiography, Up from Slavery, stands as a profoundly significant and defining piece of American literature. This softcover edition spans 272 pages.
