Title: eloquent first-person account of life after the Emancipation
Review: Every student of history must read this book. (ages 10-up). Booker T. Washington was a brilliant scholar and compassionate human being. His detailing of life as a young slave boy, and life during/after the Reconstruction, is heart-wrenching, but must be read in order to fully understand the era. At times, I felt that Mr. Washington was too "kind" in trying to understand and explain the motives of the white people. He was a visionary and tireless worker for the African Americans; therefore, this work is a must-read for all Americans.
