First published in 1907, Up From Slavery is the autobiography of the renowned civil rights activist, educator, and presidential advisor, Booker T. Washington. Praised for its wisdom and common sense, this inspirational work rightly became a bestseller. Recounting Washinton's childhood in slavery, his efforts to gain an education after the Civil War, and his subsequent struggle for racial equality, Up From Slavery combines a fascinating tale of perserverance and tireless campaining together with astute observations about the society in which he lived. More than 100 years later, Washington's story is as powerful as it ever was.
