Up from Slavery: An Autobiography (an African American Heritage Book) - Paperback

by Booker T. Washington (Author)

Up from Slavery is one of the most influential biographies ever written. On one level it is the life story of Booker T. Washington and his rise from slavery to accomplished educator and activist. On another level it the story of how an entire race strove to better itself. Washington makes it clear just how far race relations in America have come and to some extent just how much further they have to go. Written with wit and clarity.
