Booker Taliaferro Washington (1856â"1915) was an American author, orator, educator, and adviser to numerous U.S. Presidents. He belonged to the last generation of Black Americans born into slavery and became a prominent mouthpiece for ex-slaves and their descendants. âUp from Slaveryâ is Washington's 1901 autobiography, within which he recounts his astonishing journey from slave child during the Civil War to presidential advisor and leading political figure. Highly recommended for those with an interest in American history and the abolitionist movement. Contents include: âA Slave Among Slavesâ, âBoyhood Daysâ, âThe Struggle for an Educationâ, âHelping Othersâ, âThe Reconstruction Periodâ, âBlack Race and Red Raceâ, âEarly Days at Tuskegeeâ, âTeaching School in a Stable and a Hen-Houseâ, âAnxious Days and Sleepless Nightsâ, etc. Other notable works by this author include: âThe Future of the American Negroâ (1899), âCharacter Buildingâ (1902), and âWorking with the Handsâ (1904). Read & Co. History is proud to be republishing this classic memoir now in a new edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
