Freed from slavery in his youth to become an educator and spokesman for his race, Washington tells his own story in this acclaimed work.
Vividly recounting Washington's life--his childhood as a slave, struggle for education, founding and presidency of the Tuskegee Institute, and meetings with the country's leaders, this book reveals the conviction he held that the black man's salvation lay in education, industriousness and self-reliance.
