Up from Slavery

Up from Slavery is a striking autobiography tracing the journey of Booker T. Washington. Born into a slave house, he had a tough time navigating the prejudices labelled on him and his community. The story meanders through various ups and downs during the most pivotal point in the African American history.

From his struggle for education to him receiving an honorary degree from Harvard University, he continues to be an inspiration for the younger generations. The book remains evergreen by having stood the test of time and geographical boundaries ever since its publication in 1901.
