Beschreibung
"Up from Slavery" was one of several works written by Booker T. Washington in his lifetime and was published in 1901. This work is a powerful and revealing autobiography in which Washington narrates his journey from slavery to freedom, offering an intimate and profound view of his life and the conditions faced by the enslaved in the United States. Over time, various biographies have been written and continue to be written about this iconic educational leader and civil rights advocate, with increasing quality and scope. However, to understand the thoughts and character of a real person, there is nothing better than hearing the story with all its circumstances, mistakes, and successes told by the one who lived it firsthand. This is the purpose of Booker T. Washington's autobiography. To bring to the public the determined and visionary man who was born enslaved and, through his perseverance and intelligence, became one of the most influential and respected voices in the fight for education and progress for African Americans. This work is part of the "Voices of America Autobiographies" collection, which aims to highlight the life stories of important figures in American history, told by themselves.
