Booker T. Washington proved that anyone can succeed in America with determination to do your best. He feared GOD and in all he did he worked to do his best and GOD honored that. He established relations with both ethnicities and brought healing to a nation despite great obstacles.

Amazing!!!!!

Beautiful delivery of hope

The greatest desire for former slaves was for an education and the right to work to own their own property. Today, we claim the right to reparations for suffering that we never had to endure and the right to be supported by those who work. Where did we go wrong, and how can we claim the dignity that former slaves had? Today we welcome a new form of slavery, as well as enslaving those who support us, because it requires less work and effort than true freedom and respectability.

Book should be required reading in our schools.

It is beautifully written and moving! The rich stories Mr. Washington describes places your mind in his life alongside his struggles and triumphs so fully that I wept and rejoiced in equal turns. I felt like a friend taken along for the ride or like I was hearing this tale from a beloved grandfather trying to pass down the wisdom of hard worked years and well earned joys. Thank you for the lessons!

This is an eye opening account of a man of great character. We would all do well to follow Booker T. Washington’s prescriptions for society, which are related as the remarkable story of Tuskegee Institute unfolds.

I had not read about the life of Booker T. Washington before. He lead a very impressive life during a period in our history that deserved his forward thinking, stamina and dedication to the cause of racism in our Country. This autobiography has left me with a heartwarming feeling knowing in his time, post-slavery era, that there were people, both white and black, willing to help with the education and self-supporting work opportunities for those who were so neglected in these areas in the past. I think this book, in my opinion, with its historical significance should be read by all.

Timeless. It is about being a productive member of society. It gives insight to the strength of character and discipline required to serve and command respect.

I did not know the complete history of booker T Washington. I found myself looking forward to my morning reading time to learn more about this remarkable individual who, by fulfilling his life’s purpose, as forever impact of thousands both now and in the future. I highly recommend taking the time to read this book and learn from it on a personal level.
