About this ebook

First published in 1901, Up From Slavery is the autobiography of the renowned civil rights activist, educator, and presidential advisor, Booker T. Washington. Praised for its wisdom and common sense, this inspirational work rightly became a bestseller.

Recounting Washington's efforts to gain an education after the Civil War and his subsequent struggle for racial equality, Up From Slavery combines a fascinating tale of perseverance and tireless campaigning together with astute observations about the society in which he lived.

More than 100 years later, Washington's story is as powerful as it ever was.
