A little about the book
Washington recalls his childhood in slavery, the effort to get an education after emancipation, and the years spent building the school at Tuskegee. Raising money and making the school useful to students are recurring problems.
The memoir is also a public argument about education and advancement. Its descriptions of actual buildings, teachers and journeys show what that argument meant in practice.
