Up From Slavery is an autobiography written by Booker T. Washington, an African American educator and leader in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book tells the story of Washington's life, from his childhood as a slave in Virginia to his rise to prominence as the founder and president of the Tuskegee Institute, a historically black college in Alabama.Throughout the book, Washington discusses the challenges he faced as a black man in a society that was deeply divided by race. He describes his experiences working on a plantation, his education at the Hampton Institute, and his efforts to establish the Tuskegee Institute as a center for vocational education and training.Washington also discusses his views on race relations and his belief in the importance of self-help and hard work for African Americans. He emphasizes the need for black people to acquire practical skills and to work together to build strong communities.Overall, Up From Slavery is a powerful and inspiring account of one man's journey from slavery to success, and a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit.No one connected with the boarding department seemed to have any idea that meals must be served at certain fixed and regular hours, and this was a source of great worry. Everything was so out of joint and so inconvenient that I feel safe in saying that for the first two weeks something was wrong at every meal. Either the meat was not done or had been burnt, or the salt had been left out of the bread, or the tea had been forgotten.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
