Story5 out of 5 stars 61
Booker T. Washington’s 1901 autobiography can be read as a redemption story echoing many similar voices of its time. Starting from the humiliation he experienced as a slave, he ponders the meaning of identity in a situation that seeks to dehumanize. He furthers his story by expanding on his difficulties in obtaining an education and the need for change in our minds as well as societal structures.

Powerful and wise life lessons. His life proves again the value and potential we all possess. Perhaps he avoided bitterness and resentment because his masters were relatively just and he didn't learn it from his mother
