Memory
Up from Slavery
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA man born enslaved builds, from almost nothing, an entire institution dedicated to educating others out of the same circumstance he escaped. Washington argued for practical trades and patient self-improvement over confrontation, a strategy his contemporaries argued about fiercely even at the time. Whatever you make of the strategy, the sheer scale of what he actually built is not in dispute.
