Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) is considered to be a great African American Educationist, social activist and an African American leader who was highly respected and listened to by African Americans, Native Americans and social justice conscious White leaders. He emphasized that African Americans, Native Americans and other minorities needed to pursue education and acquire trade (professional) skills so that they also would be able to come up in life and have their own self-dignity strengthened.

Instead of advocating and following an agitational approach to seek justice and equality as well as economic prosperity for African Americans and other minorities in White dominated United States, he focused on steps that African Americans could pursue to improve their living conditions. He established a trade school for African Americans Tuskegee Institute in Alabama.

Some of the quotable quotes of Booker T. Washington are available in this link. https://www.brainyquote.com/authors/booker-t-washington-quotes. Reading these quotes reveal to us Booker T. Washington’s approach to life, even when he suffered a lot where he grew up as the son of a slave mother. An unusually positive view of life and life struggle.

Up from Slavery is considered to be a collection of autobiographical essays. The contents of this book were serialized in a Christian newspaper called The Outlook. The book has 17 chapters. The titles of the chapters indicate the progress of life and living conditions as well as goals and aims of Booker T. Washington.
