by Booker T. Washington
James Robinson

Read a sample Read a sample
As far as Washington was concerned, slavery only made the black race stronger. His argument that both whites and blacks would benefit from “educating Negroes” in a vocation was criticized for favoring accommodation. This autobiography of a slave’s rise to distinction conveys that a strong work ethic and true excellence in whatever one is doing will be rewarded no matter what race or what position a person holds in life. Up from Slavery also provides an insider’s look at the foundation of the Tuskegee Institute.
