:- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Johnny Utah -- This should be required reading : I grew up in Virginia. We learned a lot about the early colonists, the revolutionary war, and the civil war, but I never learned about Booker T. Washington. ( Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2019 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Dezzi Jacks -- Great book. : I just wanted to say that the book is not difficult to read unless you’re not good at understanding language in general. ( Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2021 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Amazon Customer -- I have found that the happiest people do the most for others! : I was going to give this book 4 stars on account of the words are small. However the content is so BIG that I had to give it 5 stars! The man walked 500 miles to get to school and devoted his life to that of service. It just goes to show that we can truly overcome whatever obstacles are in our way if we have the endurance to walk to 500 miles. (figuratively in 2017) Let his story be an inspiration to us all. He worked to bridge the gap and not blame anyone or anything for his place in life. He rose above and we should all be inspired to do the same! ( Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2017 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from A reader -- Powerful, moving, instructive, humbling : It is common to compare Booker T. Washington unfavorably to other African American leaders or thinkers of his time or even of our own. I believe this book will help correct this. Washington, a former slave, was trying to redeem a poorly educated community and to free it from the mindset resulting from centuries of slavery and mistreatment. He wanted above all to inculcate a sense of self-reliance and a new work ethic in former slaves understandably averse to work. To this effect, he founded the Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University), which provided vocational training, rather than intellectual training. Washington was severely criticized for this, and for the "Atlanta Compromise" speech to a white audience in 1895 (With an open hand: "In all matters that are purely social, we can be as separate as the fingers." With a clenched fist: "Yet one as a hand when it comes to mutual progress.") . ( Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2019 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from JC Davenport -- Looking Up : So here it is 100 years after Booker T. Washington's death. Here I am finally reading this classic wondering what took me so long to get around to reading it. I'm also wondering what is taking America so long to get over it's racial prejudices. Our bigotry and cruelty seems to come in waves in this country and right now is not one of our better times for some reason. ( Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2015 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from penedawn -- Important piece of history. : I read this on a website for those who have asphasia. (difficulty reading after a stroke or anyone with reading difficulties) and this was a fascinating read. You hear so much negativity and focus on what white people did to black people that unless you are studying the subject we do not realise just how much black and white worked together to resolve the problems had by becoming free. Where many considered they had a home, family and a life and security they suddenly found they had options but no idea how to go about getting them or what it was they should be trying to get and many did not want to change. This well written story was written by someone who started as a poor black young man who could not read but who had determination and belief and with help from other, whte black, poor and rich he made little more than a room into a school and tought basic living, good skills and education and by his and other who helped him find quality of life over the years with strong morals and rules. Refused to accept that having money and acquiring 'things' was the answer but that learning from the bottom up gave personal pleasure. He educated hundreds and the students built the schools and grew what they ate. He like many similar were amazing people and he and his friends, black, and white, woman and men, educated, poor and rich at one time ensured that he travelled by boat to England where he met Queen Victoria who knew of his work. Read it. It is an important part of history. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 28, 2018 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Eve Jane Lucille -- Inspirational Story. : I found this book inspirational. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 13, 2013 )
- 4.0 out of 5 stars from Shane Edwards -- Nice Read : Booker T Washington's autobiography is a great read. One of the great examples of determination in the face of adversity. He embodied change through non-violent means which is remarkable. The book failed to capture and address some of the injustices faced by the Africans at the time. The reader is left with the false hope the southern white folk undid the wrongs of the previous century through philanthropy. Mr Washington was accepted and aligned himself neatly in the white society. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 28, 2019 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Brawcatz -- Marie : I loved this book. Not only did the author describe the period before slavery was abolished, but he went on to describe how he clawed his way out of his situation and through sheer determination made a much better life for himself. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 1, 2013 )
- 5.0 out of 5 stars from Blade -- A Good Read and Well Worth Reading. : At the time this book was written black writers were few. What makes the book so incredible was not the book itself but a self educated slave could have written it and that a former slave could have come out of slavery and educate himself to be a teacher. This is why so many African-Americans are able to rise to be teachers at many collages and universities in the USA. It is a positive book that shows that hard work and determination can over many obstacles and that education can lead to success in life even for a former slave.
