You would struggle to find a more remarkable story of self-improvement than the one written of in Booker T. Washington's Up from Slavery.

Boring. He basically thought that if black people proved themselves to be competent maybe they would be treated fairly. wrong. But I understand why he would think that way. It was so boring and dry though. It was like reading a business manual. He didn’t really describe his feelings or thoughts about his life as an enslaved person, the whole books was mostly about fundraising for Tuskegee.

Great autobiography of a incredible man. Even if you disagree with some of his politics, you gotta admire his unquenchable hope. I appreciated the introduction and afterword that gave context to Washington's more controversial statements.

All I’m going to say is now I understand why Booker T. Washington is such a controversial member of Black history.

This autobiography was very interesting and enlightening. It could get a little boring at times, but I feel like it was a very good look into Brooker T. Washington's values and views, as well as highlighting his major accomplishments in life.
