About this listen

Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) was one of the most prominent leaders in advancing African American civil rights. Born into slavery and freed as a young boy, he eventually became principal of Tuskegee College, a historically Black university in Tuskegee, Alabama. He was a strong proponent of African American businesses and one of the founders of the National Negro Business League, calling for Black progress through education and entrepreneurship. He points out that those who are freed cannot be members of society because they are not given the same opportunities. Washington concludes the book with five principles that will aid African Americans in their fight to have equal rights and opportunities.
