Booker T. Washington’s famous 1901 memoir, Up From Slavery,
charts Washington’s rise from an enslaved child with a passion
for learning to the nation’s most prominent Black educator and
first president of Tuskegee University. A tireless advocate for
Black economic independence, Washington attempted to balance his
public acceptance of segregation with behind-the-scenes lobbying
against voter disenfranchisement and financing anti–Jim Crow
court cases. His memoir is both a crucial American document and an
exercise in understanding the “double consciousness” coined by
W.E.B. DuBois, himself one of Washington’s most vocal critics.
