Description: “I genuinely feel sorry for anyone who becomes trapped in the habit of harboring racial prejudice.”― Booker T. Washington, Up from Slavery; An Autobiography Up from Slavery is the 1901 autobiography of American educator Booker T. Washington (1856–1915). In this work, Washington shares his personal journey from being a slave child during the Civil War to overcoming numerous challenges in pursuit of an education at the Hampton Institute. He details his efforts in establishing vocational schools, most notably the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, aimed at helping Black individuals and other marginalized groups acquire practical skills and elevate themselves as a community. Washington reflects on the generosity of teachers and philanthropists who contributed to the education of Black people and Native Americans. He emphasizes the importance of instilling values such as manners, health, and dignity in his students. His educational philosophy advocates for a blend of academic subjects and trade skills, reminiscent of John Ruskin's educational theories. Washington argued that incorporating practical subjects was also a way to demonstrate to the white community the benefits of educating Black individuals. Originally published as a serialized work in 1900 through The Outlook, a Christian newspaper in New York, this approach allowed Washington to receive feedback from his audience during the writing process, enabling him to tailor his message to a diverse readership.
