Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Booker T. Washington (April 18, 1856 - November 14, 1915) was an African American educator, leader, author and orator and was an adviser to several US presidents. He was born into slavery on a plantation in Virginia, remembering"I cannot recall a single instance during my childhood or early boyhood when our entire family sat down to the table together. On the plantation in Virginia, and even later, meals were gotten to the children very much as dumb animals get theirs... a piece of bread here and a scrap of meat there."He was nine when his family gained their emancipation and he describes the rejoicing and the apprehension as freed slaves entered a new life. His mother took the family to the free state of West Virginia. The only name he had known was "Booker," but at school, when first asked his name by the teacher, he coolly added "Washington" to be like the other children who had at least two names. This established him on a path of fitting into the white world.In the course of his life he established the Tuskegee Institute, now Tuskegee University, helped found the National Negro Business League, now eclipsed by the NAACP, and advised several US presidents. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African American community and of the contemporary Black elite. He established a powerful political and financial network to advance the cause of African Americans through education and business known as the Tuskegee Machine.Up from Slavery chronicles Washington's life from slave to schoolmaster to statesman. It was a best seller when published and for many years thereafter. In it he writes"The temptations to enter political life were so alluring that I came very near yielding to them at one time, but I was kept from doing so by the feeling that I would be helping in a more substantial way ... through a generous education of the hand, head, and heart.""

This book was released on 2021-05-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up from Slavery is the 1901 autobiography of Booker T. Washington detailing his personal experiences in working to rise from the position of a slave child during the Civil War, to the difficulties and obstacles he overcame to get an education at the new Hampton University, to his work establishing vocational schools-most notably the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama-to help black people and other disadvantaged minorities learn useful, marketable skills and work to pull themselves, as a race, up by the bootstraps. He reflects on the generosity of both teachers and philanthropists who helped in educating blacks and native Americans. He describes his efforts to instill manners, breeding, health and a feeling of dignity to students. His educational philosophy stresses combining academic subjects with learning a trade (something which is reminiscent of the educational theories of John Ruskin)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IT HAS been my fortune to be associated all my life with a problem -- a hard, perplexing, but important problem. There was a time when I looked upon this fact as a great misfortune. It seemed to me a great hardship that I was born poor, and it seemed an even greater hardship that I should have been born a Negro. I did not like to admit, even to myself, that I felt this way about the matter, because it seemed to me an indication of weakness and cowardice for any man to complain about the condition he was born to. Later I came to the conclusion that it was not only weak and cowardly, but that it was a mistake to think of the matter in the way in which I had done. I came to see that, along with his disadvantages, the Negro in America had some advantages, and I made up my mind that opportunities that had been denied him from without could be more than made up by greater concentration and power within.

Book excerpt: In 1857, Chief Justice Roger Brooke Taney, considered by historians to be an outstanding jurist along with a competent judicial administrator, with the stroke of his pen attempted to settle once and for all the status of slavery in this country. This subject along with its expansion west was debated for many decades prior to Taney‘s ruling. In his perceived wisdom he chose to ignore the fundamental principle in which our country was founded as outlined clearly in the Declaration of Indepen dence. When Thomas Jefferson penned this declaration it heralded that ―We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.‖ This sentence has been called one of the best-known and most potent sentences ever written. On paper it appeared to exclude none of the inhabitants of the original thirteen colonies. Dred Scott‘s quest for freedom was part of a process that helped the United States fulfill these words, promised and echoed ever since the beginning of the American Revolution. You are about to read the product of a thorough research of the known records and transactions relating to Dred Scott‘s early years in Virginia as the slave of Peter Blow of Southampton County. In the early 19th Century this man was considered property, hardly worthy of mention in ii the documents of the time. Since his early life in Southampton, his stature in American Society has risen in prominence, representing a portion of America that speaks volumes as to how as a nation we have evolved in an attempt to fulfill the founding fathers‘ unrealized statements. We recognize and honor Dred and his Virginia parents by identifying their existence on Peter Blow‘s Plantation and as the slaves of the Taylor family. This is an attempt to tell the story of their early life and preserve their legacy for future generations to remember. In testament to his life, Dred Scott‘s stature has risen from these humble beginnings, representing a fulfillment of that portion of the creed of the United States that was founded upon the principles of God, Equality for all, and individual liberty. Dred Scott repeatedly lost court decisions in his quest for freedom for his family; however, he was successful in obtaining an honored place for himself in the history of our great nation while Chief Justice Taney‘s legacy drifts into obscurity.

Washington, the Master Mind of a Child of Slavery: An Appealing Life Story Rivaling in Its Picturesque Simplicity and Power Those Recounted About the Lives of Washington and Lincoln; A Biographical Tale Destined to Live in History and Furnish an Inspiration for Present The truth of that homely axiom, "Great Oaks From Little Acorns Grow," finds no better exemplification than in the life of Booker T. Washington. So much has been written about this extraordinary negro educator, who rose from obscurity, that it is deemed necessary in offering the public this work to say that it is not presented as a biography, but rather as a story pointing a moral and carrying with it a lesson for all mankind to study and heed. Dr. Washington has contributed much to the literature of the age, telling the story of his struggles and ambitions in a characteristic, simple, straightforward and effective manner, and the world is better for his works. But his very simplicity and the utter unselfishness which his humble life and training produced made it impossible for him to "stand without" and view himself with justice. The purpose here is to present a faithful picture of Booker T. Washington, as viewed through the eyes of those "outside" who watched his rise and studied his work and progress, and to provide an unprejudiced and unbiased work of some economic as well as historic value.

He describes his efforts to instill manners, breeding, health and a feeling of dignity to students. His educational philosophy stresses combining academic subjects with learning a trade (something which is reminiscent of the educational theories of John Ruskin). Washington explained that the integration of practical subjects is partly designed to reassure the white community as to the usefulness of educating black people.
