Booker T. Washington's attitude about slavery is one of the things that strikes me most about his work. He was not a complainer, he just stated the facts as they were at the time. The theme throughout this book is Is it really about you know what it's not about your circumstances? It's what you do with them and so it's Very powerful, but it also gives you the same feeling that I got from the Forgotten Highlander.
Booker Taliaferro Washington (April 5, 1856 – November 14, 1915)[1] was an American educator, author, orator, and adviser to several presidents of the United States. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African-American community and of the contemporary black elite.[2] Washington was from the last generation of black American leaders born into slavery and became the leading voice of the former slaves and their descendants. They were newly oppressed in the South by disenfranchisement and the Jim Crow discriminatory laws enacted in the post-Reconstruction Southern states in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
