Up From Slavery (Audio Book) The Reconstruction Period
Up From Slavery by Booker T. Washington (1856 -- 1915) Up From Slavery is the 1901 autobiography of Booker T. Washington detailing his slow and steady rise from a slave child during the Civil War, to the difficulties and obstacles he overcame to get an education at the new Hampton University, to his work establishing vocational schools—most notably the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama—to help black people and other disadvantaged minorities learn useful, marketable skills and work to pull themselves, as a race, up by the bootstraps. He reflects on the generosity of both teachers and philanthropists who helped in educating blacks and native Americans. He describes his efforts to instill manners, breeding, health and a feeling of dignity to students.

I hate the fact that Booker T. Washington and Clarence Thomas are called Uncle Toms. If one listened closely, in Washington you can hear the seeds of thought that gave rise to black autonomy and independence a cause championed by Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X. It would improve race relations and strengthen the Union if blacks practiced group economics and break their? eternal dependence on the government.
