Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Booker Taliaferro Washington (1856-1915) was an African American
political leader, educator and author. He was one of the dominant
figures in African American history in the United States from 1890
to 1915. Born into slavery in Franklin County, Virginia, at the age
of 9, he was freed and moved with his family to West Virginia,
where he learned to read and write while working in manual labor
jobs. He later trained as a teacher, and in 1881 was named the
first leader of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. He was granted
an honorary Masters of Arts degree from Harvard University in 1896
and an honorary Doctorate degree from Dartmouth College in 1901. He
received national prominence for his famous Atlanta Address of
1895, attracting the attention of politicians and the public as a
popular spokesperson for African American citizens. In addition to
the substantial contributions in the field of education, Dr.
Washington did much to improve the overall friendship and working
relationship between the races in the United States. His
autobiography, Up From Slavery, first published in 1901, is still
widely read.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
He is one of the great voices in African-American history: Booker
T. Washington rose from a boyhood in shackles in West Virginia-he
was eight when the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution freed
all slaves in 1865-to the status of national hero. In this
autobiography of his career, Washington details his struggles as
head of the school in Alabama that eventually became Tuskegee
University, the honors he received from Harvard University, his
many public speeches, and his other professional endeavors. A
replica of the 1901 edition, this volume is complete with the
original photos and illustrations, and remains an invaluable
firsthand document of 19th-century America. American author BOOKER
T. WASHINGTON (1856-1915) was born to a white father and black
slave mother in Virginia. His Atlanta Address of 1895 brought him
great acclaim, and for the rest of his life he remained a respected
figure in the African American community. Among his most
influential writings is an article for Atlantic Monthly called "The
Awakening of the Negro" (1896).
