Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Times of Booker T. Washington One of the most complicated of all social problems during the past two generations has been that of the Negro in his social, economic, and civil relations in the South. Some writers have been pessimistic in their view as to the outcome. We have sometimes seen the view expressed in books by strong writers that there is no solution of the Negro question. This reminds one of Mark Twain's story. He carried forward the action of the characters up to a certain point, and suddenly dropped the task of writing. He informed the reader that the situation had become so complicated that he, the author of the story, was unable to handle it, and that he would have to turn it over to the reader to develop the story to the climax. This was excellent humor, and it is suggestive of the view some have held regarding the Providence of God in relation to the Negro. It is as if God had permitted a situation to develop which he himself could not handle successfully. The writer does not in any degree share the pessimistic view that the Negro question is insoluble. The late Booker T. Washington was one of the most remarkable characters of his generation. He is, indeed, the outstanding Negro of modern times.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Booker T. Washington: Builder of a Civilization This is not a biography in the ordinary sense. The exhaustive Life and Letters of Booker T. Washington re mains still to be compiled. In this more modest work we have simply sought to present and interpret the chief phases of the life of this man who rose from a slave boy to be the leader of ten millions of people and to take his place for all time among America's great men. In fact, we have not even touched upon his childhood, early training, and education, because we felt the story of those early strug gles and privations had been ultimately Well told in his own words in Up from Slavery. This autobiography, however, published as it was fifteen years before his death, brings the story of his life only to the threshold of his greatest achievements. In this book we seek to give the full fruition of his life's work. Each chapter is complete in itself. Each presents a complete, although by no means exhaustive, picture of some phase of his life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Boy's Life of Booker T. Washington The single aim in telling the story that follows is to interest boys in the life of Booker T. Washington. This man's life was of such singular and vital importance in the history of his own race and in the history of our country that it ought to be familiar to all the youth of the land, and to the negro youth especially, since it is the greatest inspiration to the latter to be found in the annals of American history. There has been no attempt to be original or exhaustive in the treatment. While a great mass of material has been consulted, it should be frankly stated that the story follows very closely the material found in Washington's Up from Slav ery and My Larger Education and Scott and Stowe's Booker T.

Download or read book Up from History written by Robert Jefferson Norrell and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-30 with total page 523 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1960s, Martin Luther King, Jr., has personified black leadership with his use of direct action protests against white authority. A century ago, in the era of Jim Crow, Booker T. Washington pursued a different strategy to lift his people. In this compelling biography, Norrell reveals how conditions in the segregated South led Washington to call for a less contentious path to freedom and equality. He urged black people to acquire economic independence and to develop the moral character that would ultimately gain them full citizenship. Although widely accepted as the most realistic way to integrate blacks into American life during his time, WashingtonÕs strategy has been disparaged since the 1960s. The first full-length biography of Booker T. in a generation, Up from History recreates the broad contexts in which Washington worked: He struggled against white bigots who hated his economic ambitions for blacks, African-American intellectuals like W. E. B. Du Bois who resented his huge influence, and such inconstant allies as Theodore Roosevelt. Norrell details the positive power of WashingtonÕs vision, one that invoked hope and optimism to overcome past exploitation and present discrimination. Indeed, his ideas have since inspired peoples across the Third World that there are many ways to struggle for equality and justice. Up from History reinstates this extraordinary historical figure to the pantheon of black leaders, illuminating not only his mission and achievement but also, poignantly, the man himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Booker T. Washington, Five Years After For almost a generation the name of Booker T. Washington occupied a large share of the attention of his fellowmen. The nation delighted to mark the wisdom of his sayings and to write his speeches in their books. He occupied as large a place for as long a time in public esteem and favor as any man of his genera tion. He bore the stamp of natural greatness. His wisdom was intuitive. According to African lore, hewas born with a caul over his face. He knew without learning, and understood with the certainty of instinct. Like Abraham Lincoln, he possessed an infallible inner sense whose guidance he followed with satisfied assur ance. He possessed the genius of common sense, and the philosophy of simple things. His was a universal mind. While he dealt with the most complex and distressing social particulars, his spirit always rose above the temporary intricacies of besetting conditions and lived in an atmosphere that was calm and serene. Booker T. Washington was, perhaps, the only man of eminence of his day who was free from race prejudice. He neither despised nor esteemed any man because of his race. Race prejudice is often extolled as a virtue, but the moral genius of mankind reprobates it as a vice. Though corporally aligned with the Negro race, morally and spiritually he was heir of all the ages. Flesh and blood did not reveal to him the truth by which he guided his path. Progress from enmity to amity is the highest mark of human culture. Love your enemies; do good to them that hate you, is the goal of human strivings which the carnally minded still deem impossible of realization.
